Answer 1

Doing network IO in the main thread is evil. Better to avoid.

Also - your url resource access is wrong.

Use something like this instead:

 private Bitmap bmp;

   new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {                  
        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
            try {
                InputStream in = new URL(IMAGE_URL).openStream();
                bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
            } catch (Exception e) {
               // log error
            }
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
            if (bmp != null)
                imageView.setImageBitmap(bmp);
        }

   }.execute();

This is the 'old way' of loading url resources into display. Frankly speaking, I have not written such code in a long time. Volley and Picasso simply do it much better than me, including transparent local cache, multiple loader-threads management and enabling effective resize-before-load policies. All but coffee :)

Your problem is not in code but with the server. Try this sample url and tell me if is it working:

http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/apple-touch-icon.png

If you're going to be loading multiple images from URL's in your app, it's definitely worth looking into:

nostra13's "Universal Image Loader"

It's an awesome library with tons of features to display images from URLs, cast to bitmaps, etc.

Once you've included the class and declared the imageloader + imageloader configuration, its a simple as this:

imageLoader.displayImage("http://www.yoursite.com/my_picture.png", imageView);

Where imageView is the imageView you would like the image to appear in.

Give it a try with Picasso. It should take you almost one full line of code and less than a minute to set it up.

In your case, that would be:

Picasso.with(context).load(""http://imageurlgoeshere").into(i);
