Question

I need to retrieve a png image from the Internet. I have the correct URL pointing to the image, it’s something like this:

So, I have my URL object like this:

URL url = new URL(methodThatLoadsTheStringPointingToMyURL());

An I can get a InputStream like this:

InputStream is = url.openStream();

However, the only way I know to decode it into a Drawable is by using BitmapDrawable constructor, and that kills the PNG transparency.

Is there any way to retain PNG transparency?
