You can just use webview to directly view your image remotely. You do not need to save anymore the image in a file. Here is a sample code snippet.

String x= "";

myWebView.loadData(x, "text/html", "UTF-8");

About switching images, you can just change the value of the url and call the loadData again of the webview.
