Show image from web ?

[dealsmonkey]

Hi again,

First off, must say I am loving b4a. I have created more in the past 48 hours than weeks with eclipse :sign0060:

My webservice returns an image url that I want to show in a listview. Is it possible to do this, I have tried bitmap.initialize but no joy.

Thanks again in advance

Neil

Any particular reason you would rather show it in a listview than a webview?

Just curious really.... for me, if it were a single image, I would just make life easy on myself and use a webview.

Hi Tom

The webservice returns a list of items, one of which is the image URL, others are text values. I assumed the listview was the best for this ?

It might be Neil, I guess I just figured if you needed to view them(it) from a URL, make your life easy and simply view it in a webview. I honestly don't know if you can use a URL as a bitmap for the listview, but my instincts would tell me no.

If you like you can download the image manually and then show it with the Http library.

Thanks for the suggestion Erel. I have now changed to a scrollview and shown the image with a webview.loadHtml. This works for me, so now to work out how to capture event presses !!

Hi Neil,

I'm doing something similar and am having a similar problem with the ListView.
Am I correct in assuming that when using the ScrollView, instead of a Bitmap, you're using a WebView and loading your images into it?

Thanks,
