I'm not sure what you mean exactly Keron John ; do you mean a website, stored locally on a machine, that can link to websites?

Keron John , I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You can display images using ImageViews, and you could enable a listener to visit a URL when the image is tapped. Or if you want to display images from the web, you could use either a WebView or a 3rd party library like SmartImageView.
