Android add drawable image from java code?

Question

I need to insert in a TextView a drawable that I download from web in the code. So I can't manually put the image in res and in R.drawable.

How can I use it?

After downloading the bitmap/jpeg from online, you can change to drawable or u can use as it is. — Ajitha, Nov 20 '15 at 08:07

Try this

try {
    /* Open a new URL and get the InputStream to load data from it. */
    URL aURL = new URL("ur Image URL");
    URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();
    conn.connect();
    InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
    /* Buffered is always good for a performance plus. */
    BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
    /* Decode url-data to a bitmap. */
    Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);
    bis.close();
    is.close();

    Drawable d =new BitmapDrawable(bm);
    d.setId("1");
    textview.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0,0,1,0);// wherever u want the image relative to textview
    } catch (IOException e) {
    Log.e("DEBUGTAG", "Remote Image Exception", e);
    }
