How do I implement this image view in an async task?

Question

I have an url passed to an activity and I am trying to show the image from the url full screen, however it throws a main network thread exception.

From what I can find

Answer 1

It should be something like this. In the doInBackground you get the image, and in the onPostExecute you set it

private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap>  {
     @Override
     protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
          Bitmap bitmap = null; 
          try {
              bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream((InputStream)new URL(urls[0]).getContent());
          } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IOException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
          }
          return bitmap;
     }
     @Override
     protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap bitmap) {
        ImageView i = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgView);
        i.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
     }
 }

Then, you call it inside your onCreate method

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    String url = getIntent().getStringExtra("SelectedImageURL");
    new DownloadFilesTask ().execute(url); 
}

Answer 2

Using Picasso after initializing yourImageView with findViewById();

Picasso.with(context).load(url).into(yourImageView)

Answer 3

Put your network task inside doInBackground() method of AsyncTask as follow:

@Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

try {
        //ImageView i = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgView);Put this line in onPreExecute() method
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream((InputStream)new URL(url).getContent());
       // i.setImageBitmap(bitmap);//and this one on postExecute() method
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}
