[android help] Android - Grabbing an image from a URL and displaying it in an ImageView with an AsyncTask

I'm trying to get the app to show an image from a URL, im fairly certain the issue is with the AsyncTask but I've returned to this code several times over the past week and I still cant see where I'm going wrong. The Internet permission is set and I am getting no LogCat ImageView eventImage2; eventImage2 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.eventImage2); new imageupdate().execute(); public class imageupdate extends AsyncTask { @Override protected Bitmap doInBackground(Bitmap... url) { URL url1; try { url1 = new URL("http://masterzangetsu.eu/Apps/NowIGetYou/banner.png"); HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url1.openConnection(); Bitmap result = null; InputStream is = connection.getInputStream(); Bitmap img = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is); img = result; } catch (MalformedURLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return img; } protected void onPreExecute(String result) { } protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) { super.onPostExecute(result); eventImage2.setImageBitmap(result); } } asked 13 mins ago

Change this Bitmap result = null; InputStream is = connection.getInputStream(); Bitmap img = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is); img = result; to Bitmap img = null; InputStream is = connection.getInputStream(); Bitmap img = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is); result = img; and return result in doInBackground(). You have them switched around so 'img' will be null no matter what happens. Also, you can't use Toast in doInBackground() as this method isn't run on the UI thread. You will need to make that a Log or put your Toast in onPostExecute() or onProgressUpdate(). These are the things I see. If you are still having problems then you need to be a little more clear on what specifically. You will need to debug and use breakpoints to see what isn't being returned that should be and pinpoint a little more what the problem is answered 4 mins ago
