Question

My cursor gets 3 columns of data from sqlite, 1st column is recipe name, 2nd column in recipe author and 3rd column is the url for the recipe’s image. here’s a portion of my code

private static final String fields[] = { "recipeID", "recipeName", "thumbnail"};
Cursor mCursor = dbAdapter.getAllTitles(); //get all titles returns the recipe name, author and thumbs
startManagingCursor(mCursor);
dataSource = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.recipelist, mCursor, fields,    
                  new int[] { R.id.recipeAuthor, R.id.recipeName, R.id.recipeThumb });
setListAdapter(dataSource);

Obviously instead of displaying the recipe image, the code above just displays the url for the recipe image at R.id.recipeThumb. How can I make it display pictures from the internet instead?
