Question

I’m using the following function to load a remote image to an ImageView. The image definitely exists at the URL I’m trying to load it from but when I call to the function and try to display the image the ImageView remains blank.

public static void setImage(ImageView view, String url) throws IOException {
    final URLConnection conn = new URL(url).openConnection();
    conn.connect();
    final InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

    final BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is, 100000);

    final Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);
    bis.close();
    is.close();

    view.setImageBitmap(bm);
}

Answer 1

this worked for me:

    Bitmap bitmap = null;

    HttpGet httpRequest = null;


    try {
            URL url = new URL(your_url);
            httpRequest = new HttpGet(url.toURI());

            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpResponse response = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);

            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
            BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity); 
            InputStream instream = bufHttpEntity.getContent();
            bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream);
    } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }
