Android Question Linking to website Image

[brianwiz12]

Hello,

Trying to cut down on the size of one of my apps. Trying to put all images on a website and do If/Then statement.

    Case "Episode S1E2"
            If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal,"http://www.ultimatetvtrivia.com/images/abby/s1e2.png") Then
                SlidingPuzzleView1.ImageDrawable=LoadBitmap(File.DirRootExternal, "http://www.ultimatetvtrivia.com/images/abby/s1e2.png")
            Else
            SlidingPuzzleView1.ImageDrawable=LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"s1e1.png")
            lblwelcome.SendToBack
            End If

It returns only the S1E1.png. Even thouogh s1e2.png is ont he site. Now i have went through file.(all options) cant seem to get one that will work

File.DirExternal means external in your device. Not external somewhere on the Internet.

Thank you.. I found the job walk through to downloading an image. But it seems not to work with a customer puzzle view

Case "Episode S1E2"
            Dim Job As HttpJob
            Job.Initialize("image",Me)
            Job.Download("http://www.ultimatetvtrivia.com/images/abby/s1e2.png")
            Job.JobName = "s1e2"
            If Job.Success Then
                SlidingPuzzleView1.ImageDrawable = LoadBitmap(file.DirAssets, Job.GetBitmap)
                lblwelcome.SendToBack
            Else
            SlidingPuzzleView1.ImageDrawable=LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"s1e1.png")
            lblwelcome.SendToBack
            End If
