Load image from url to ImageView - C#
The very first hit I got from Google was a thread on the Xamarin forums discussing this exact issue:
private Bitmap GetImageBitmapFromUrl(string url)
{
Bitmap imageBitmap = null;
using (var webClient = new WebClient())
{
var imageBytes = webClient.DownloadData(url);
if (imageBytes != null && imageBytes.Length > 0)
{
imageBitmap = BitmapFactory.DecodeByteArray(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);
}
}
return imageBitmap;
}
var imageBitmap = GetImageBitmapFromUrl("http://xamarin.com/resources/design/home/devices.png");
imagen.SetImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
