Question

I needed to load remote images to my application and bind this image to an QuickcontactBadge object. HttpURLConnection is used to download the image data and BitmapFactory is used to produce the bitmap which will be used as imageview resources.

But I dont know exactly how yo do this?
Can anyone help me over this?
Thanks

This could help you.

Bitmap bmImg;
void downloadFile(String fileUrl){
      URL myFileUrl =null;          
      try {
           myFileUrl= new URL(fileUrl);
      } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
           // TODO Auto-generated catch block
           e.printStackTrace();
      }
      try {
           HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection)myFileUrl.openConnection();
           conn.setDoInput(true);
           conn.connect();
           InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

           bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
           imView.setImageBitmap(bmImg);
      } catch (IOException e) {
           // TODO Auto-generated catch block
           e.printStackTrace();
      }
 }
