I have an image url coming from my rest API. Now I want to set it to an imageview when activity is loading. Below is how I get the bean from the rest api and then get the URL out of it.
Message message=new Message();
String imageUrl=message.getImageUrl();
I get Message object from my database and image url is include in that Message object.
Then I used Url object to get that image url.
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL(imageUrl);
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());
contentImageView.setImageBitmap(bmp);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I used above codes to load image to an imageview object which is contentImageView
.
But still I cannot load this image to imageview, Nothing is getting loaded.
have any ideas?
The easiest way to do it is by using something like Picasso or Glide:
Picasso.with(getContext()).load(imgUrl).fit().into(contentImageView);
you can add picasso library in your gradle:
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
Please Try this function to get bitmap
public Bitmap getBitmapfromUrl(String imageUrl)
{
try
{
URL url = new URL(imageUrl);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.connect();
InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
return bitmap;
} catch (Exception e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
Use Glide or picasa library for efficient performance
Dependices
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'
Sample Code
Glide.with(this)
.load(url)
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)
.skipMemoryCache(true)
.into(imageview);
References:
Glide official docs https://github.com/bumptech/glide
If you want to do it without any libraries:
If you have bitmap image in memory
setImageBitmap(Bitmap bm) // Sets a Bitmap as the content of this ImageView.
If you have image in drawable folder
setImageResource(int resId) // Sets a drawable as the content of this ImageView.
