How can I load an image from the web onto my phone without typing in the URL? I want to create a media application but load the cover for each song from specific locations on the web. How can I load the remote images as simple as possible? Every tutorial I try online crashes on startup.
 
If you have a method to get the link to the image, UrlImageViewHelper can help (pun intended)

It was written by Koush and you can find it on GitHub
or here

It's fairly easy to use. And Koush explains how to use it in the GitHub description.
Just add the project to your Eclipse and choose it as a library for your current project and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps!

It took me a couple of hours sat in front of the television with my laptop but I got it working, thanks!
