How can I save an image from a url?

Question

I'm setting an ImageView using setImageBitmap with an external image url. I would like to save the image so it can be used later on even if there is no internet connection. Where and how can I save it?

Answer 1

URL imageurl = new URL("http://mysite.com/me.jpg"); 
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageurl.openConnection().getInputStream()); 

This code will help you in generating the bitmap from the image url.

This question answers the second part.
