957 PointsAndroid ImageView from URL
I'm trying to populate an imageView from an image on the server using a url. I've tried just about everything on the web but I keep getting errors with my bitmap. My imageView is in a fragment if that makes a difference.
Does anyone have a working example of this?

Treehouse TeacherI think I have just what you're looking for. Check out this blog post I wrote about SmartImageView. Let me know if that helps or if you need something else!

Treehouse TeacherI love that library! GitHub has some really useful stuff like that. Also check out this site: http://www.androidviews.net/

957 PointsYou trying to convert me into an Android Developer Ben? Those are cool. I'll have to play with them some after I get this google map to work :(. As soon as I get this android libraries stuff down, I can relate it to objective-c.

Treehouse TeacherHehe - you can have the best of both worlds! I love iOS too (see my upcoming project), but my heart lies with Android.
