You can recover the image through an Inputstream and use the Bitmapfactory.decodeStream () to create a bitmap from Inputstream, and then use setImageBitmap() for the image view to display the image.

But I would personally use the Glide to speed up this process.

  • but using Inputstream it can take images from a folder only by the link of the folder? for example www.meusite.com.br/Imagenslegal and load the images you have in this folder

  • if I put the images in a database it will take a long time, because they are a lot of images, so I was thinking about this idea of the folder, but I do not know how to do

  • I would list the files in the folder filtering by images, then download them or use Glide to quickly list in imageview

  • my biggest doubt Samuel is in this part " would list the folder files filtering by images" because I am using the Firebase database, then I would put the links of the folders with images there, but ae how I will move to android and he understand that is to see the images that have in the folder?

  • Is your website made in php? If yes I would create a json in the image folder, whenever an image was sent to the server I would add its path in an array in json, then download that json with android and recover that array with the urls. But if you are going to use firebase, I think this may help you: http://javasampleapproach.com/android/firebase-storage-get-list-files-display-image-firebase-ui-database-android https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37335102/how-to-get-a-listof-all-files-in-cloud-storage-a-firebase-app

  • Samuel I have a linux server where is stored photos and pdfs, I am not storing directly in Firebase for financial question because the files are coming to 30gb, and on this server I gained this space,the app lists these pdfs and opens in the app up to ae all right, but also have these folders with images, and as are many I would waste a lot of time putting one by one in firebase,

  • so I’m looking for a solution to just take the link from the folder on the linux server and play on firebase and the application scan these folder and list the images, I have no website, only the linux server and firebase that is taking the pdfs and playing in the application. managed to understand?

  • I want to do so: register the link from the example folder 192.57.14.25/ww/images and the application scans the folder and lists the images it contains

  • can do json and I’m getting the string urls, how to convert to image?

  • Com Jsonobject https://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/JSONObject Example of a site: http://www.matera.com/blog/post/received-dados-via-json-em-um-aplicativo-android
