这段代码经过测试，它是完全工作的。

URL req = new URL(
"http://java.sogeti.nl/JavaBlog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/android_icon_256.png"
);
Bitmap mIcon_val = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(req.openConnection()
                  .getInputStream());

要做到这一点，一个简单而干净的方法是使用开源库Prime。

带有异常处理和异步任务的版本:

AsyncTask<URL, Void, Boolean> asyncTask = new AsyncTask<URL, Void, Boolean>() {
    public Bitmap mIcon_val;
    public IOException error;

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(URL... params) {
        try {
            mIcon_val = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(params[0].openConnection().getInputStream());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            this.error = e;
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Boolean success) {
        super.onPostExecute(success);
        if (success) {
            image.setImageBitmap(mIcon_val);
        } else {
            image.setImageBitmap(defaultImage);
        }
    }
};
try {
    URL url = new URL(url);
    asyncTask.execute(url);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

public class LoadWebImg extends Activity {

String image_URL=
 "http://java.sogeti.nl/JavaBlog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/android_icon_256.png";

   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.main);

       ImageView bmImage = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image);
    BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions;
    bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    bmOptions.inSampleSize = 1;
    Bitmap bm = LoadImage(image_URL, bmOptions);
    bmImage.setImageBitmap(bm);
   }

   private Bitmap LoadImage(String URL, BitmapFactory.Options options)
   {       
    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    InputStream in = null;       
       try {
           in = OpenHttpConnection(URL);
           bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, options);
           in.close();
       } catch (IOException e1) {
       }
       return bitmap;               
   }

private InputStream OpenHttpConnection(String strURL) throws IOException{
 InputStream inputStream = null;
 URL url = new URL(strURL);
 URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();

 try{
  HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection)conn;
  httpConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
  httpConn.connect();

  if (httpConn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
   inputStream = httpConn.getInputStream();
  }
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
 }
 return inputStream;
}
}

imageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageUrl.openStream()));//try/catch IOException and MalformedURLException outside

来自Android开发者:

// show The Image in a ImageView
new DownloadImageTask((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1))
            .execute("http://java.sogeti.nl/JavaBlog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/android_icon_256.png");

public void onClick(View v) {
    startActivity(new Intent(this, IndexActivity.class));
    finish();

}

private class DownloadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
    ImageView bmImage;

    public DownloadImageTask(ImageView bmImage) {
        this.bmImage = bmImage;
    }

    protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
        String urldisplay = urls[0];
        Bitmap mIcon11 = null;
        try {
            InputStream in = new java.net.URL(urldisplay).openStream();
            mIcon11 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return mIcon11;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
        bmImage.setImageBitmap(result);
    }
}
