Alright, referring to https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader . This app is listing all urls in array.xml . Is it possible to list out images without specifying an URL in array.xml following the guide by http://getablogger.blogspot.com/2008/01/android-download-image-from-server-and.html that only specifies a server ip to retrieve all the images.

Code from getablogger

ImageView imView;
String imageUrl="http://11.0.6.23/";
Random r;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */ 
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
r= new Random();

Button bt3= (Button)findViewById(R.id.get_imagebt);
bt3.setOnClickListener(getImgListener);
imView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imview);
} 

View.OnClickListener getImgListener = new View.OnClickListener()
{

@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

//i tried to randomize the file download, in my server i put 4 files with name like
//png0.png, png1.png, png2.png so different file is downloaded in button press
int i =r.nextInt()%4;
downloadFile(imageUrl+"png"+i+".png");
Log.i("im url",imageUrl+"png"+i+".png");
}

};

Then simply try this –

private static final String TAG = "Image";
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
private boolean isImage = false;
private String reviewImageLink;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    reviewImageLink = getString(R.string.ImageURI);   // ImageURL
    URL reviewImageURL;
    String name = reviewImageLink.substring(reviewImageLink
            .lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
    try {
        reviewImageURL = new URL(reviewImageLink);
        if (!hasExternalStoragePublicPicture(name)) {
            isImage = false;
            new DownloadImageTask().execute(reviewImageURL);
            Log.v("log_tag", "if");
            isImage = true;
            File sdImageMainDirectory = new File(Environment
                    .getExternalStorageDirectory(), getResources()
                    .getString(R.string.directory)); // Storing Directory
            sdImageMainDirectory.mkdirs();
            File file = new File(sdImageMainDirectory, name);
            Log.v("log_tag", "Directory created");
        }

    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        Log.v(TAG, e.toString());
    }

}


private class DownloadImageTask extends AsyncTask<URL, Integer, Bitmap> {

    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, outputFile.toString());

    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED, System

    Uri uri = this.getContentResolver().insert(

            values);
    try {

                .openOutputStream(uri);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 95, outStream);

        outStream.flush();
        outStream.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private boolean hasExternalStoragePublicPicture(String name) {
    File sdImageMainDirectory = new File(Environment
            .getExternalStorageDirectory(), getResources().getString(
            R.string.directory));
    File file = new File(sdImageMainDirectory, name);
    if (file != null) {
        file.delete();
    }
    return file.exists();
}

In my case the strings.xml

<string name="ImageURI">http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/tag-logo-android.png</string>
<string name="directory">/DCIM</string>

From this you can directly give the imageUrl in reviewImageLink or can give in String resource. This will be same for directory also.

Hope this helps you lot.
