    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

        setContentView(R.layout.sites); 



        ImageView im = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image); 
        Drawable drawable = LoadImageFromWeb("http://kostas-menu.gr/chania/roloi.jpg");

    }
     private Drawable LoadImageFromWeb(String url) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         try{
         InputStream is = (InputStream) new URL(url).getContent();
           Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src name");
           return d;
          }catch (Exception e) {
           System.out.println("Exc="+e);
           return null;
    }
} 


}

EDIT:

@George:

i have added in my package the LoaderImageView,java class.i also changed my xml file from the simple imageview to

<com.example.android.LoaderImageView
    android:layout_marginTop="10px"
   android:id="@+id/loaderImageView"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
   image="http://developer.android.com/images/dialog_buttons.png"
   />

and in every class of my project i have added that:

final LoaderImageView image = new LoaderImageView(this, "http://kostas-menu.gr/chania/santrivani.jpg");
        image.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

but unfortunately with that way i m always getting the image from the url in my xml file.i have the same xml for all my classes,so how could i set the image from the java file?i tried to erase the line image:"http...." from the manifest,but this is not returning any image at all!!thanks

have you tried loading from a local resource image? does it work? — ahmet alp balkan, May 15 '11 at 13:43

Ideally you should fetch the images in a seperate thread different from the UI thread.

Lazy load of images in ListView

This might help too.

use this resources. I am sure this will help you

http://www.anddev.org/novice-tutorials-f8/imageview-with-loading-spinner-t49439.html

do you use this code? Is this something that we should?

public class ImageExampleXML extends Activity {

    private final String images[] = {"http://developer.android.com/images/dialog_custom.png", "http://developer.android.com/images/dialog_progress_bar.png"};
    private int i = 0;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        final Button loadImage = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);

        final LoaderImageView image = (LoaderImageView) findViewById(R.id.loaderImageView);

        loadImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                image.setImageDrawable(getAnImageUrl());
            }
        });
    }

    private String getAnImageUrl() {
        i++;
        if(i >= images.length){
            i = 0;
        }
        return images[i];
    }
}
