Try following code:
First you need to get the image path from xml like any other attribute of xml and then pass that URL to this function.

public static Bitmap getBitmapFromURL(String src) {
    try {
        URL url = new URL(src);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setDoInput(true);
        connection.connect();
        InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
        Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
        return myBitmap;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

Nothing too complicated – simply create a URL object using the “src” string (i.e. String src = “http://thinkandroid.wordpress.com”), connect to it, and use Android’s BitmapFactory class to decode the input stream. The result should be your desired Bitmap object!
