Fetch Image from an URL present in the form of String

Contextualize the feature

Images are stored as URLs in Cloud Databases. Need of a method to fetch image from that URL and then display.

Describe the feature

Currently to set an Image, the following method is invoked:

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.image_id)

The method only accepts a parameter of type resource id. But if a string is provided instead, it would give compilation errors. Please add a feature to fetch image from cloud database, given in form of URL. A URL is of type String.

add in your main program :
... get File by TCPIP download from your database
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath()); // file : File to your image
mPhotoView.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);

add in PhotoView.java :

public void setImageBitmap(Bitmap bm) {
super.setImageBitmap(bm);
if (attacher != null) {
