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。

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;
}
}

这里有很多好的信息…我最近发现了一个叫SmartImageView的类，到目前为止它似乎工作得很好。非常容易合并和使用。

更新:我最后写了一篇关于这个的博客文章，所以看看它对使用SmartImageView的帮助。

第二次更新:我现在总是用毕加索做这个(见上文)，强烈推荐它。：）

    private Bitmap getImageBitmap(String url) {
        Bitmap bm = null;
        try {
            URL aURL = new URL(url);
            URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();
            conn.connect();
            InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
            BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
            bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);
            bis.close();
            is.close();
       } catch (IOException e) {
           Log.e(TAG, "Error getting bitmap", e);
       }
       return bm;
    } 

不管怎样，人们问我的评论，把它作为答案。我正在发帖。

URL newurl = new URL(photo_url_str); 
mIcon_val = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(newurl.openConnection().getInputStream());
profile_photo.setImageBitmap(mIcon_val);
