Why am not able to fetch image in imageview from imageUrl?

Question

I want to display an image in an ImageView which am fetching from a url which I have specified in function. The below is function where am trying to fetch image.

 public Bitmap getBitmapFromUrl(String src){
    try{

        URL url = new URL(src);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setDoInput(true);
        connection.connect();
        InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
        Bitmap btmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);

        return btmp;

    }catch (Exception e){

        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }

}

The above function is returning null. The argument src "http://pyplyn.co/magento2pawan/a.jpg".

Please help me. Where I am going wrong....?

did you add the internet permission in your manifest? also, you might want to put the code into a async call.... — letsCode, Jan 11 '18 at 14:15

Its better to use libraries like Glide or Picasso rather than this when displaying Image from url

While this may be true, it doesn't explain what is wrong with the above code. – Bryan Jan 11 '18 at 14:00
