I have an image URL. I want to display an image from this URL in an ImageView but I am unable to do that.

How can this be achieved?

Answer 1

Based on this answer i write my own loader.

With Loading effect and Appear effect :

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.DisplayMetrics;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.animation.AlphaAnimation;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;

import java.io.InputStream;

        DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = mDestination.getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
        int px = Math.round(dp * (displayMetrics.xdpi / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT));
        return px;
    }
}

Add permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

And execute :

 new DownloadImageTask(context, imageViewToLoad, urlToImage).execute();

Answer 2

The code below show you how to set ImageView from a url string, using RxAndroid. First, add RxAndroid library 2.0

dependencies {
    // RxAndroid
    compile 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.0.0'
    compile 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.0.0'

    // Utilities
    compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.5'

}

now use setImageFromUrl to set image.

public void setImageFromUrl(final ImageView imageView, final String urlString) {

    Observable.just(urlString)
        .filter(new Predicate<String>() {
            @Override public boolean test(String url) throws Exception {
                return StringUtils.isNotBlank(url);
            }
        })
        .map(new Function<String, Drawable>() {
            @Override public Drawable apply(String s) throws Exception {
                URL url = null;
                try {
                    url = new URL(s);
                    return Drawable.createFromStream((InputStream) url.getContent(), "profile");
                } catch (final IOException ex) {
                    return null;
                }
            }
        })
        .filter(new Predicate<Drawable>() {
            @Override public boolean test(Drawable drawable) throws Exception {
                return drawable != null;
            }
        })
        .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
        .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
        .subscribe(new Consumer<Drawable>() {
            @Override public void accept(Drawable drawable) throws Exception {
                imageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);
            }
        });
}

Answer 3

loadImage("http://relinjose.com/directory/filename.png");

Here you go

void loadImage(String image_location) {
    URL imageURL = null;
    if (image_location != null) {
        try {
            imageURL = new URL(image_location);         
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) imageURL
                    .openConnection();
            connection.setDoInput(true);
            connection.connect();
            InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
            bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);// Convert to bitmap
            ivdpfirst.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } else {
        //set any default
    }
}

Answer 4

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    Bitmap b;
    ImageView img;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
        information info = new information();
        info.execute("");
    }

    public class information extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>
    {
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {

            try
            {
                URL url = new URL("http://10.119.120.10:80/img.jpg");
                InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
                b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);

            } catch(Exception e){}
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            img.setImageBitmap(b);
        }
    }
}

Answer 5

Try this add picasso lib jar file

Picasso.with(context)
                .load(ImageURL)
                .resize(width,height).noFade().into(imageView);

Answer 6

try picassso nice and finishes in one statement

Picasso.with(context)
                .load(ImageURL)
                .resize(width,height).into(imageView);
