How to use this uri to get the image but it returns null, please tell me where i am wrong.

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(uri.getPath()); Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(uri.toString()); 

Answer 1

This is a simple one line way to do it:

    try {         URL url = new URL("http://....");         Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream());     } catch(IOException e) {         System.out.println(e);     } 

Answer 2

This should do the trick:

public static Bitmap getBitmapFromURL(String src) {     try {         URL url = new URL(src);         HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();         connection.setDoInput(true);         connection.connect();         InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();         Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);         return myBitmap;     } catch (IOException e) {         e.printStackTrace();         return null;     } } // Author: silentnuke
