	I'm creating an app that loads images from a network. I have internet permission and access network state permission but I get cannot open file error. I'm using the absolute path when specifying the file ie \\192.168.1.100\d\.folder\image.jpg. Is this possible or is there something else that i need to do first? asked 1 hour ago

	UNC paths (of the form \\\ will NOT work by default on Android: Android does not natively support those sort of references (CIFS). You should either use HTTP and one of the toolkits that provides support for that (like Volley) or look at a library like JCIFS. answered 13 mins ago
