Question

I need to display an image in my android application. The problem is I want to get this image from somewhere online. The URL is like:

http://www.mydomain.com/hello world image.png

As you see the image name containing some spaces in it. Every time I execute my code this will show me exception of FileNotFound. and nothing happens.

Following is my code

String imagePathCon = "hello world image.png";      
String imagePath = "http://www.mydomain.com/" + imagePathCon;
try {
  URL url;
  url = new URL(imagePath);

  // url = new URL("http://www.azuma-kinba.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Android-Make-Google-Loss-in-2010.png");

  InputStream content = (InputStream)url.getContent();
  Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(content , "src"); 
  im.setImageDrawable(d);

 } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
 } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
 }

I use to replace space with “+” but nothing happens.

This will work.

String imagePathCon = "hello world image.png";   
imagePathCon=imagePathCon.replaceAll(" ", "%20");

String imagePath = "http://www.mydomain.com/" + imagePathCon;
