How can this be shown in the newsfeed?. Do we need to use a textview or a combination of textview and imageview?
I have no idea, please help... expected output ..

Answer 1

I think you want to do like Facebook. In Web, we do this by extracting the meta-data from link and then displaying it accordingly. Here is the link to learn about Meta Tag and its component.

In Android, We can use metadata-extractor. Download the latest version .jar and import it into your project libs folder.

And then use the following code to get meta-data :

try {
            InputStream is = new URL("your image url").openStream();
            BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
            Metadata metadata = ImageMetadataReader.readMetadata(bis,true);

      for (Directory directory : metadata.getDirectories()) {
       for (Tag tag : directory.getTags()) {
         System.out.println(tag);
       }
      }
    }catch (ImageProcessingException e){}
     catch (IOException e) {}
