Load imageview bitmap from Url without download

I think you'll find it is still with download but just not by your code.

imageLoadFromUrl: bring the bitmap from url

But I agree it's nice to have the messy detail taken care of by somebody else.

Although I did not get the point of your words, until then it needs not to be meaner to be clearer.

I did not get the point of your words

When you say it displays an image from a URL without download, it sounds as though it will work offline, with no internet access.

And if people use it for that reason, then they are going to be disappointed when it doesn't work.

So I was just clarifying that your (cleaner, easier) way of accessing images from a URL, still does a download, and therefore still needs internet access to work.

Thanks for your (clearer) words, I did not say it needs no internet access I just meant no file is downloaded in the process.
