How to display image from URL on Android

You can try this which I find in another question.

Android, Make an image at a URL equal to ImageView's image

try {
  ImageView i = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image);
  Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream((InputStream)new URL(imageUrl).getContent());
  i.setImageBitmap(bitmap); 
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

You can directly show image from web without downloading it. Please check the below function . It will show the images from the web into your image view.

public static Drawable LoadImageFromWebOperations(String url) {
    try {
        InputStream is = (InputStream) new URL(url).getContent();
        Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src name");
        return d;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return null;
    }
}

then set image to imageview using code in your activity.


I tried this code working for me,get image directly from url

      private class DownloadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
      ImageView bmImage;
      public DownloadImageTask(ImageView bmImage) {
          this.bmImage = bmImage;
      }

      protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
          String urldisplay = urls[0];
          Bitmap mIcon11 = null;
          try {
            InputStream in = new java.net.URL(urldisplay).openStream();
            mIcon11 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
          } catch (Exception e) {
              Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
          return mIcon11;
      }

      protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
          bmImage.setImageBitmap(result);
      }
    }

use inside onCreate() method

new DownloadImageTask((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image)) .execute("http://scoopak.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/free-hd-natural-wallpapers-download-for-pc.jpg");
