Answer 1

You mean upload image? Then take a look at that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3038409/how-to-send-http-post-request-and-recieve-response/3038747#3038747.

Answer 2

following code works fine for me,

class DownloadImage extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Drawable>{
        @Override
        protected Drawable doInBackground(Void... params) {
            return Util.getImageFromURL(imageURL); 
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute( Drawable d ) {
            getImageIcon().setImageDrawable(d);
        }

}
new DownloadImage().execute();

and if you are showing image in list view you should follow this http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-thumbnail

@Praveenb try following ,

Bitmap bmImg;
void downloadFile(String fileUrl){
URL myFileUrl =null; 
try {
myFileUrl= new URL(fileUrl);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection)myFileUrl.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.connect();

InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is); 
    // it will decode the input stream and will load the bitmat in bmImg variable

imView.setImageBitmap(bmImg);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
