Download image with httprequest, show it with webview

wimpie3 · Jul 25, 2011

I want to do something very simple: download an image over http, and show it in a webview. I cannot use webview directly, since I need to set a proxy. Setting a proxy is only supported in httprequests.

So I actually need to launch a httprequest to get a JPEG image stream, and show that stream in a webview. How do I do this?

See Basic4android Search: HttpUtils for an example of downloading images.
Save the image to the sd card and then you can show it with code similar to:

B4X:

WebView1.LoadHtml("<html><body><img src='file:///sdcard/1.jpg'/></body></html>")

Download image with httprequest, show it with webview
