I'm trying to display two images from my server. How could I achieve this?
Any options available in Android to change the image dynamically from the server for every instance?
I'm using permission as,.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Try this example. it will help you get the images fromonline
The Xml File is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dip"
android:text="Loading image from url" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dip" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/image1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dip" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/image2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dip" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/image3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dip" />
</LinearLayout>
And java files are,..
