EDIT:

Create a class that extends AsyncTask

public class ImageLoadTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Bitmap> {      private String url;     private ImageView imageView;      public ImageLoadTask(String url, ImageView imageView) {         this.url = url;         this.imageView = imageView;     }      @Override     protected Bitmap doInBackground(Void... params) {         try {             URL urlConnection = new URL(url);             HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) urlConnection                     .openConnection();             connection.setDoInput(true);             connection.connect();             InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();             Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);             return myBitmap;         } catch (Exception e) {             e.printStackTrace();         }         return null;     }      @Override     protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {         super.onPostExecute(result);         imageView.setImageBitmap(result);     }  } 

And call this like new ImageLoadTask(url, imageView).execute();

Direct method:

Use this method and pass your url as string. It returns a bitmap. Set the bitmap to your ImageView.

public static Bitmap getBitmapFromURL(String src) {     try {         Log.e("src",src);         URL url = new URL(src);         HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();         connection.setDoInput(true);         connection.connect();         InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();         Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);         Log.e("Bitmap","returned");         return myBitmap;     } catch (IOException e) {         e.printStackTrace();         Log.e("Exception",e.getMessage());         return null;     } } 

And then this to ImageView like so:

imageView.setImageBitmap(getBitmapFromURL(url)); 

And dont forget about this permission in maifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> 

NOTE:

Try to call this method from another thread or AsyncTask because we are performing networking operations.

You can also let Square's Picasso library do the heavy lifting:

Picasso     .get()     .load("http://...")     .into(imageView); 

As a bonus, you get caching, transformations, and more.
