Android Question Download image

OK, the problem is that the free link returns just data for an image, so Job1.Getbitmap works fine.

However, the paid link returns both text and an image, so because it is not just pure image data, the .GetBitmap is failing.

This was easily determined by opening both links in a browser.

It appears there is some code on the paid server that is doing a redirect to the homepage (with the text and image shown) when you try to access the image directly - maybe a header needs to be set when trying to download the image?

Since you mentioned the second link is a "paid" link, then I would contact the company that owns the paid website and ask what is the properly way to download the images from their site.

They should be able to tell you what special codes, headers, tokens are needed to download the paid images.
