Consider using Picasso for your purpose. I'm using it in one of my project. To save image on external disk you can use following:

 Picasso.with(mContext)
        .load(ImageUrl)
        .into(new Target() {
            @Override
            public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {
                try {
                    String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
                    File myDir = new File(root + "/yourDirectory");

                    if (!myDir.exists()) {
                        myDir.mkdirs();
                    }

                    String name = new Date().toString() + ".jpg";
                    myDir = new File(myDir, name);
                    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(myDir);
                    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);

                    out.flush();
                    out.close();                        
                } catch(Exception e){
                    // some action
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable errorDrawable) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable placeHolderDrawable) {
            }
        }
    );

From here you can download this library.

You can download th image from an url like this:

URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/image_to_read.jpg");
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int n = 0;
while (-1!=(n=in.read(buf)))
{
   out.write(buf, 0, n);
}
out.close();
in.close();
byte[] response = out.toByteArray();

And you may then want to save the image so do:

FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C://borrowed_image.jpg");
fos.write(response);
fos.close();
