Invoke the image directly from website to our app

Question

Hi want to use the image directly from website .i did not place that image in drawable folder. for this purpose what can i do.Give me some suggestions thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I've written a function that creates a Drawable from an image url, look below:

private Drawable downloadThumbnails(String url) {
    Drawable d = null;
    try {
        InputStream is = (InputStream) this.fetch(url);
        d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src_from_stream");
        return d;
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }
    return null;
}

public Object fetch(String address) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
    URL url = new URL(address);
    Object content = url.getContent();
    return content;
}

then use it like this:

Drawable img = downloadThumbnails("http://yoururl.com/image.png");
yourImageView.setImageDrawable(img);
