You may to use WebView to display web-site content. There is also wonderful tutorial of using WebView on android developers web site

Answer 2

private RelativeLayout myRelativeLauout;

myRelativeLauout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.rlBg);  
new LoadBackground("http://www.tmonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/androidfigure.jpg",
            "androidfigure").execute();


private class LoadBackground extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Drawable> {

    private String imageUrl , imageName;

    public LoadBackground(String url, String file_name) {
        this.imageUrl = url;
        this.imageName = file_name;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
    }

    @Override
    protected Drawable doInBackground(String... urls) {

        try {
            InputStream is = (InputStream) this.fetch(this.imageUrl);
            Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, this.imageName);
            return d;
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
    private Object fetch(String address) throws MalformedURLException,IOException {
        URL url = new URL(address);
        Object content = url.getContent();
        return content;
    }


    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Drawable result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        myRelativeLauout.setBackgroundDrawable(result);
    }
}

Something interested, (I never try this but it should work)

FrameLayout fm = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.FrameLayout01);      
Drawable drw = ImageOperations(this,url,filename)
fm.setBackgroundDrawable(drw)

Convert your image url in Drawable using

private Drawable ImageOperations(Context ctx, String url, String saveFilename) {
        try {
            InputStream is = (InputStream) this.fetch(url);
            Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, saveFilename);
            return d;
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }

    public Object fetch(String address) throws MalformedURLException,IOException {
        URL url = new URL(address);
        Object content = url.getContent();
        return content;
    }

Try this and let me know what happen..

Answer 4

here is the code by you can get image in bitmap from URL

 Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream((InputStream)new URL(imageUrl).getContent());

and Useing This you can convert bitmap to drawable ...

and after getting drawable apply in layout like

framelyt.setBackgroundDrawable(d);
