Load ImageView with bitmap from internet

Load ImageView with bitmap from internet -

It's a simple way to load ImageView with a bitmap from internet, via http connection.



In order to load something from internet, the AndroidManifest.xml have to be modified to grand permission for internet access.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     package="com.exercise.AndroidWebImage"
     android:versionCode="1"
     android:versionName="1.0">
   <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
       <activity android:name=".AndroidWebImage"
                 android:label="@string/app_name">
           <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
               <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
           </intent-filter>
       </activity>

   </application>
   <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>

Modify main.xml to include a ImageView

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   >
<TextView 
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="@string/hello"
   />
<ImageView
   android:id="@+id/image"
   android:scaleType="center"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
