this purpose we need to use a third party library. the library that we are using is Picasso library

So first of all you need to open your Android Studio and create a New Project, after that choose

your API Level for this article iam using API Level 22.

After creating of the project in Android Studio you need to open build.gradle(Module:app) and

in the dependencies section you need to add the library like this. after adding the library you

need to sync your Android project.

implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'

1	implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'

Now you need to open your main_activity.xml and add an ImageView widget, also we are

using RelativeLayout for this article. so this is our main_activity.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
    tools:context="org.codeloop.loadimage.MainActivity">


    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>


</RelativeLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:background="@color/colorPrimaryDark"

tools:context="org.codeloop.loadimage.MainActivity">

<ImageView

android:id="@+id/imageView"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</RelativeLayout>

So now open your MainActivity.java file. you can see that in the first we have created the object

of our ImageView, also we need to create String url variable, because we want to store our url in

that variable.

package org.codeloop.loadimage;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;

import com.squareup.picasso.Picasso;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ImageView imageView;
    String url = "https://static.india.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/42-4.jpg";
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
        loadImage(url);
    }

    private void loadImage(String url) {
        Picasso.get()
                .load(url)

                .into(imageView);


    }
}

package org.codeloop.loadimage;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.ImageView;

import com.squareup.picasso.Picasso;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

ImageView imageView;

String url = "https://static.india.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/42-4.jpg";

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);

loadImage(url);

}

private void loadImage(String url) {

Picasso.get()

.load(url)

.into(imageView);

}

In the above code this method is for Load Image from URL in Android Studio. you can simply use

Picasso library for loading the image and after that setting the image in our ImageView.

 private void loadImage(String url) {
        Picasso.get()
                .load(url)

                .into(imageView);


    }

private void loadImage(String url) {

Picasso.get()

.load(url)

.into(imageView);

}

because we are loading image from url and it needs internet connection, so before runing

your Android Project, open your AndroidManifes.xml file and add the internet permission.

if you don’t do this, you will not see the image.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

1	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Run the complete project this will be the result.
