What is the best way to get an image from URL to ImageView in Android

Question

I am using a method to get the Image from URL when a button is clicked but it gets too much time, about 4-5 seconds to show an image sized only 6 kb using 3G not wi-fi.

My method is this;

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;

 Bitmap bimage = getBitmapFromURL("http://www.replikler.net/test2.jpg"); ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.movie_image); image.setImageBitmap(bimage);

do you know another way (faster) to get an image from url ?

Be sure you execute network operations in another thread, by using AsyncTask for example — biegleux

imageView.setImageDrawable(Drawable.createFromStream((InputStream)new URL(url).getContent(), "src"));
