android uri parcel,uri - How to use setImageUri() on Android - Stack Overflow

ImageView.setImageUri only works for local Uri, ie a reference to a local disk file, not a URL to an image on the network.

Here is an example of how to fetch a Bitmap from the network.

private Bitmap getImageBitmap(String url) {

Bitmap bm = null;

try {

URL aURL = new URL(url);

URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();

conn.connect();

InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);

bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);

bis.close();

is.close();

} catch (IOException e) {

Log.e(TAG, "Error getting bitmap", e);

}

return bm;

}

Once you have the Bitmap from getImageBitmap(), use: imgView.setImageBitmap(bm);
