Simple Android Image Download Async

Question

I'm attempting to obtain an image URL through JSON data, which works successfully. Everything below works SLOWLY. However, I am trying to figure out a way to get a URL to display much faster below in Android Volley or another fast method. I am trying to download these images from a URL (resized too) into a MapView pin icon. If there is a more efficient example anyone can find, I am all in. Please let me know if you need more information from me. I am following this guide: Android load from URL to Bitmap

final String profilePicture = profilePic;

URL url = new URL(profilePicture);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.connect();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
Bitmap bit = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bit, 100, 100, false);

ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 10, out);
Bitmap decoded = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray()));


bitmapDescriptor = BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(decoded);

Use picasso library :

http://square.github.io/picasso/

Its easy to use and have alot of useful feature !
For example :

Picasso.with(context)
  .load(url)
  .resize(50, 50)
  .centerCrop()
  .into(imageView)

Your solution will not work in this case because it wont run in the context and it needs to assign the image to the bitmapDescriptor. – user2793987 Feb 15 '15 at 05:37

Can you somehow convert this to work with a bitmapDescriptor like above? – user2793987 Feb 15 '15 at 22:01
