How can I download image for ImageView in Java, Android?

Question

I need to download image from my server and load this image into imageview. So I have a question - can I download image into memory and set it for ImageView, without saving on sdcard/local storage? Or I must download into some file storage? Give me example please if it possible.

Ok first of all implement that library into gradle of app level for load the image from url into image view:

 implementation("com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.6.1")
            {
                exclude group: "com.android.support"
            }

Now write below code in your activity for load the image::

Glide.with(this).load("url of your image").thumbnail(Glide.with(this).load(R.drawable.loadingsingleimage)).into(imageView);

Now download it into the your device storage by implementing the following code..

 download.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                try {
                    BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable();
                    Bitmap bitmap = drawable.getBitmap();

                    File filepath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
                    File dir = new File(filepath.getAbsolutePath() + "/MotivationalQuotes/");
                    dir.mkdir();

                    File file = new File(dir, System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
                    try {
                        outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
                    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                    }

                    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outputStream);

                    try {
                        outputStream.flush();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                    try {
                        outputStream.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Downloaded into MotivationalQuotes.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                catch (Exception e) {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image is not loaded yet...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }

        });

This could help you.

Bitmap bmImg;
void downloadFile(String fileUrl){
      URL myFileUrl =null;          
      try {
           myFileUrl= new URL(fileUrl);
      } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
           // TODO Auto-generated catch block
           e.printStackTrace();
      }
      try {
           HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection)myFileUrl.openConnection();
           conn.setDoInput(true);
           conn.connect();
           InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

           bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
           imView.setImageBitmap(bmImg);
      } catch (IOException e) {
           // TODO Auto-generated catch block
           e.printStackTrace();
      }
 }

See here for example code. You can use BitmapFactory to achieve your goal:

HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection)myFileUrl.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.connect();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
imView.setImageBitmap(bmImg);
