How to load an ImageView by URL in Android? [closed]

Answer 1

1. Picasso allows for hassle-free image loading in your application—often in one line of code!

Use Gradle:

implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:(insert latest version)'

Just one line of code!

Picasso.get().load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView);

2. Glide An image loading and caching library for Android focused on smooth scrolling

Use Gradle:

repositories {
  mavenCentral() 
  google()
}

dependencies {
   implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.11.0'
   annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler4.11.0'
}

// For a simple view:

  Glide.with(this).load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView);

3. fresco is a powerful system for displaying images in Android applications.Fresco takes care of image loading and display, so you don't have to.

You'll have to download the image firstly

public static Bitmap loadBitmap(String url) {
    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    InputStream in = null;
    BufferedOutputStream out = null;

    try {
        in = new BufferedInputStream(new URL(url).openStream(), IO_BUFFER_SIZE);

        final ByteArrayOutputStream dataStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        out = new BufferedOutputStream(dataStream, IO_BUFFER_SIZE);
        copy(in, out);
        out.flush();

        final byte[] data = dataStream.toByteArray();
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        //options.inSampleSize = 1;

        bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length,options);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Could not load Bitmap from: " + url);
    } finally {
        closeStream(in);
        closeStream(out);
    }

    return bitmap;
}

Then use the Imageview.setImageBitmap to set bitmap into the ImageView

I have recently found a thread here, as I have to do a similar thing for a listview with images, but the principle is simple, as you can read in the first sample class shown there (by jleedev). You get the Input stream of the image (from web)

private InputStream fetch(String urlString) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
    DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpGet request = new HttpGet(urlString);
    HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
    return response.getEntity().getContent();
}

Then you store the image as Drawable and you can pass it to the ImageView (via setImageDrawable). Again from the upper code snippet take a look at the entire thread.

InputStream is = fetch(urlString);
Drawable drawable = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src");

Version with exception handling and async task:

AsyncTask<URL, Void, Boolean> asyncTask = new AsyncTask<URL, Void, Boolean>() {
    public Bitmap mIcon_val;
    public IOException error;

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(URL... params) {
        try {
            mIcon_val = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(params[0].openConnection().getInputStream());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            this.error = e;
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Boolean success) {
        super.onPostExecute(success);
        if (success) {
            image.setImageBitmap(mIcon_val);
        } else {
            image.setImageBitmap(defaultImage);
        }
    }
};
try {
    URL url = new URL(url);
    asyncTask.execute(url);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.

Here I explain about how to use "AndroidQuery" external library for load image from url/server in asyncTask manner with also cache loaded image to device file or cache area.

• Download "AndroidQuery" library from here
• Copy/Paste this jar to project lib folder and add this library to project build-path
• Now I show demo to how to use it.

activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center">

        <FrameLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/imageFromUrl"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:adjustViewBounds="true"/>
            <ProgressBar
                android:id="@+id/pbrLoadImage"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center"/>

        </FrameLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private AQuery aQuery;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    aQuery = new AQuery(this);
    aQuery.id(R.id.imageFromUrl).progress(R.id.pbrLoadImage).image("http://itechthereforeiam.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/android-gone-packing.jpg",true,true);
 }
}

Note : Here I just implemented common method to load image from url/server but you can use various types of method which can be provided by "AndroidQuery"to load your image easily.

This will help you...

Define imageview and load image into it .....

Imageview i = (ImageView) vv.findViewById(R.id.img_country);
i.setImageBitmap(DownloadFullFromUrl(url));

Then Define this method :

    public Bitmap DownloadFullFromUrl(String imageFullURL) {
    Bitmap bm = null;
    try {
        URL url = new URL(imageFullURL);
        URLConnection ucon = url.openConnection();
        InputStream is = ucon.getInputStream();
        BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
        ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(50);
        int current = 0;
        while ((current = bis.read()) != -1) {
            baf.append((byte) current);
        }
        bm = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(baf.toByteArray(), 0,
                baf.toByteArray().length);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d("ImageManager", "Error: " + e);
    }
    return bm;
}
