Question

I’d like to know how I can download an Image from a given URL and display it inside an ImageView. And is there any permissions required to mention in the manifest.xml file?

Answer 1

You need to put this permission to access the Internet

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

you can try this code.

String imageurl = "YOUR URL";
InputStream in = null;

try 
{
    Log.i("URL", imageurl);
    URL url = new URL(imageurl);
    URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
    HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) urlConn;
    httpConn.connect();

    in = httpConn.getInputStream();
} 
catch (MalformedURLException e) 
{
    e.printStackTrace();
} 
catch (IOException e) 
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}
Bitmap bmpimg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
ImageView iv = "YOUR IMAGE VIEW";
iv.setImageBitmap(bmpimg);
