using the following code iam able to download an image from the url

String IMAGE_URL = "http://www.kolkatabirds.com/rainquail8vt.jpg";
            //where we want to download it from
            URL url;
            try {
                url = new URL(IMAGE_URL);

                //open the connection
                URLConnection ucon = url.openConnection();

                //buffer the download
                InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
                BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is,1024);

                //get the bytes one by one
                int current = 0;

                while ((current = bis.read()) != -1) {
                    baf.append((byte) current);
                }
                //convert it back to an image
                ByteArrayInputStream imageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(baf.toByteArray());
                Bitmap theImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
                img.setImageBitmap(theImage);
