How to load a image from assets?

You can follow my tutorials on displaying data from Assets: https://xjaphx.wordpress.com/2011/10/02/store-and-use-files-in-assets/
The sample with loading image and text to display.

I now added the relevant part of the provided link (in case of earthquake or something) ;-) Taifun

// load image
try {
    // get input stream
    InputStream ims = getAssets().open("avatar.jpg");
    // load image as Drawable
    Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(ims, null);
    // set image to ImageView
    mImage.setImageDrawable(d);
}
catch(IOException ex) {
    return;
}

Instead of using the assets dir, put the file into /res/raw, and you can then access it using the following URI: android.resource://com.your.packagename/" + R.raw.radiocd5
