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

Answer 1

Lots of good info in here...I recently found a class called SmartImageView that seems to be working really well so far. Very easy to incorporate and use.

UPDATE: I ended up writing a blog post about this, so check it out for help on using SmartImageView.

2ND UPDATE: I now always use Picasso for this (see above) and highly recommend it. :)

Answer 2

This code is tested, it is completely working.

URL req = new URL(
"http://java.sogeti.nl/JavaBlog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/android_icon_256.png"
);
Bitmap mIcon_val = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(req.openConnection()
                  .getInputStream());

Answer 3

Android Query can handle that for you and much more (like cache and loading progress).

Take a look at here.

I think is the best approach.

Answer 4

Hi I have the most easiest code try this

    public class ImageFromUrlExample extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.main);  
            ImageView imgView =(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);
            Drawable drawable = LoadImageFromWebOperations("http://www.androidpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/android.png");
            imgView.setImageDrawable(drawable);

    }

    private Drawable LoadImageFromWebOperations(String url)
    {
          try{
        InputStream is = (InputStream) new URL(url).getContent();
        Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src name");
        return d;
      }catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exc="+e);
        return null;
      }
    }
   }

main.xml

  <LinearLayout 
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <ImageView 
       android:id="@+id/ImageView01"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>

try this

    String img_url= //url of the image
    URL url=new URL(img_url);
    Bitmap bmp; 
    bmp=BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());
    ImageView iv=(ImageView)findviewById(R.id.imageview);
    iv.setImageBitmap(bmp);
