You can just use webview to directly view your image remotely. You do not need to save anymore the image in a file. Here is a sample code snippet.
myWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true); //to get zoom functionalities
String url = "http://....."; //url of your image
String x= "<html><head><meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0\"/><style type=\"text/css\">html, body {margin: 0;padding: 0;} img {border: none;}</style><head><body style=\"background: black;\"><table><tr><td align=\"center\"><img src=\"" + url + "\" /></td></tr></table></body></html>";
myWebView.loadData(x, "text/html", "UTF-8");
About switching images, you can just change the value of the url and call the loadData again of the webview.
I wasn't satisfied with WebView after all so I ended up creating my own image viewing Activity. Further descriptions on how I did it can be found in this post on google groups.
