import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import java.io.InputStream;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
String url = "https://images.pexels.com/photos/1226302/pexels-photo1226302.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500";
ImageView image;
Button button;
ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
button = findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
new DownloadImage().execute(url);
}
});
}
private class DownloadImage extends AsyncTask {
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
mProgressDialog.setTitle("Download Image Tutorial");
mProgressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
mProgressDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
mProgressDialog.show();
}
@Override
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... URL) {
String imageURL = URL[0];
Bitmap bitmap = null;
try {
// Download Image from URL
InputStream input = new java.net.URL(imageURL).openStream();
// Decode Bitmap
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bitmap;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
// Set the bitmap into ImageView
image.setImageBitmap(result);
// Close progressdialog
mProgressDialog.dismiss();
}
}
