I need to add gallery to my android app. I used gallery in standard way, when pictures are in my folder, but now I need to show pictures when I have just pictures URLs(pictures are on some distant server). How can I achieve that ?
Is the server yours?
You might need to make an API to get the images from the server served to you.

Currently I want to make a list like pictures and images on the server when I click on it, it will download the images to the memory device. If the image is downloaded, it will not download again and the image that is not there will be downloaded. Then I want to ask for a solution from everyone, how should I handle the download to be clean and good for performance. Or do you have an example for me to refer to? Thank you!
There are some ways to find out if your image already exists in your phone storage but the best way to find it out is by image name, compare image names before downloading.
I have been thinking about developing my own custom Viber sticker but I can't get to any good source to give me some information about this.
Does anyone know how to do this? Or is it possible at all? If yes, please let me know what do I need to do so.
Thanks.
When you send/recieve a sticker, it doesnt really send it, just opens the image from the local store from your phone.
What I did on my Android is download a stickers set that I dont like.
Connect the phone to the computer and open the vyber folder, and search for the folder containing the set I downloaded.
Then I uploaded my custom stickers to this folder using the same names to overwrite the files.
Since vyber doesnt send the stickers, when you send the custom sticker people dont see your stikers, they see the original files on their phones. So I repeat the process on the phones of my boyfriend and my sister.
I can only use the stickers with them, but it is better than nothing.
Also you can just have a folder in your gallery and send them as image files is not the same, but it works.
i wanna display image saved on the D://foldername//foldername//filename from my computer on the android emulator using eclipse and also how to display it from a server?
as i am accessing the data from the server and also the images are saved on the server
Unless you're running a web server which provides public access to the image, I don't think you can display an image from your computer using a path like that. You either need to include the image in the assets or res/drawable folders within the app, or have the image accessible through a web server which you can load from within the app using the method described in this question.
I know that the native Gallery application of Android can display pictures stored from a Picasa Web account. I have searched the SDK but could not figure out if there is a way to make media rss available in the native gallery applications (and ideally would work with any gallery application).
I thought of creating a ContentProvider, to make these available but the gallery seems to only display what is added through the MediaStore.
If you have any idea, let me know.
Thank you very much.
Unfortunately it is not possible to add Media RSS in the native gallery without modifying its source code. No API allows that.
I am developing an application to display all the images in android's built-in gallery in to a php page. I posted the uri (content://media/extrenal/images/media) of the gallery images to the php page. I was not able to recreate images by using webView's function loadUrl().
Should I need to upload the whole gallery to another directory and display the images?
Or passing the bitmap itself will do?
Please suggest me an idea to solve the problem.
I think you should make an ashynchronous connection of your application with an php application on the server, which will tell the android app to upload the requested image, and when the java app receives the upload command, make the app upload the picture to the server, and make the server php app display the image uploaded. I know this is a bit complicated, but this is the only thing that is comparatively easier than doing socket transports and other things. Good luck :)
