You need to download image.

Make a function which will retrieve Bitmap.

I'm new also on android development but I did that on one of my learning apps. If its a URL then you do the following:

              Drawable picture;
                      try {
                   URL picurl = new URL("some URL");
                   InputStream content = (InputStream)picurl.getContent();
                   picture = Drawable.createFromStream(content , "src"); 
               }
               catch(Exception e){
                           //handle the Exception 
                       }
