import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

import org.apache.http.HttpException;
import org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MainThreadActivity extends Activity {
    ImageView img_downloaded;
    Button btn_download;
    String fileurl = "http://variable3.com/files/images/email-sig.jpg";

Bitmap bmImg;
private ProgressDialog dialog;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    //new MainThreadActivity().onPreExecute();

    img_downloaded = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
    btn_download = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnLoad);

    btn_download.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            try {
                downloadfile(fileurl);
            } catch (HttpHostConnectException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (HttpException e) {

                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
}


public void AbstractProgressTask() {
    dialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
}

protected void onPreExecute() {new MainThreadActivity().onPreExecute();
    this.dialog.setMessage("Loading. Please wait...");
    this.dialog.show();
}

protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success) {
    if (dialog.isShowing()) {

  // here is your code
  return true;
}

void downloadfile(String fileurl) throws HttpException,HttpHostConnectException {
    URL myFileUrl = null;
    try {
        myFileUrl = new URL(fileurl);
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) myFileUrl.openConnection();
        conn.setDoInput(true);
        conn.connect();
        int length = conn.getContentLength();
        if(length>0)
        {
            int[] bitmapData =new int[length];
            byte[] bitmapData2 =new byte[length];
            InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
            bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);

          //img.setImageBitmap(bmImg);
        }
        else
        {
            int[] bitmapData =new int[length];
            byte[] bitmapData2 =new byte[length];
            InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
            bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
        }

    } 
    catch(IOException e)
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}
}

That seems like a lot of code just to show on an ImageView. Try this instead:

URL url = new URL("http://variable3.com/files/images/email-sig.jpg");
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());
img_downloaded.setImageBitmap(bmp);
