Loading pictures in Android

Question

What is the best practice for loading images from the Web into a ListView?

Do I have to load them first into SQLite database or should I load them directly into a ListView?

And also after clicking an item in the ListView I have to show the same image in another activity. Is it the right way to pass this image to another activity or it is better to load it from Web / SQLite once again?

Look here Lazy loading of images

Loading them directly into the listview will make scrolling in it slow, as it will reload them everytime they get visible.
