Droidman post is pretty comprehensive  Volley works good with small data of few kbytes  When I tried to use the  BasicImageDownloader java  the Android Studio gave me warning that the AsyncTask class should to be static or there could be leaks  I used Volley in another test app and that kept crashing because of leaks so I am worried about using Volley for the image downloader  images can be few 100 kB   I used Picasso and it worked well  there is small change  probably an update on Picasso  from what is posted above  Below code worked for me      public static void imageDownload Context ctx  String url       Picasso get   load yourURL               into getTarget url      private static Target getTarget final String url        Target target2   new Target              Override         public void onBitmapLoaded final Bitmap bitmap  Picasso LoadedFrom from                new Thread new Runnable                       Override                 public void run                          File file   new File localPath    quot   quot   quot YourImageFile jpg quot                        try                           file createNewFile                            FileOutputStream ostream   new FileOutputStream file                           bitmap compress Bitmap CompressFormat JPEG  80  ostream                           ostream flush                            ostream close                          catch  IOException e                            Log e  quot IOException quot   e getLocalizedMessage                                                            start                        Override         public void onBitmapFailed Exception e  Drawable errorDrawable                        Override         public void onPrepareLoad Drawable placeHolderDrawable                         return target

Edit as of 30 12 2015 - The Ultimate Guide to image downloading    last major update  Mar 31 2016    TL DR a k a  stop talking  just give me the code       Skip to the bottom of this post  copy the BasicImageDownloader  javadoc version here    into your project  implement the OnImageLoaderListener interface   and you re done       Note  though the BasicImageDownloader handles possible errors   and will prevent your app from crashing in case anything goes wrong  it will not perform   any post-processing  e g  downsizing  on the downloaded Bitmaps       Since this post has received quite a lot of attention  I have decided to completely rework it to prevent the folks from using deprecated technologies  bad programming practices or just doing silly things - like looking for  hacks  to run network on the main thread or accept all SSL certs    I ve created a demo project named  Image Downloader  that demonstrates how to download  and save  an image using my own downloader implementation  the Android s built-in DownloadManager as well as some popular open-source libraries  You can view the complete source code or download the project on GitHub      Note  I have not adjusted the permission management for SDK 23   Marshmallow  yet  thus the project is targeting SDK 22  Lollipop     In my conclusion at the end of this post I will share my humble opinion about the proper use-case for each particular way of image downloading I ve mentioned   Let s start with an own implementation  you can find the code at the end of the post   First of all  this is a BasicImageDownloader and that s it  All it does is connecting to the given url  reading the data and trying to decode it as a Bitmap  triggering the OnImageLoaderListener interface callbacks when appropriate  The advantage of this approach - it is simple and you have a clear overview of what s going on  A good way to go if all you need is downloading displaying and saving some images  whilst you don t care about maintaining a memory disk cache       Note  in case of large images  you might need to scale them   down    --  Android DownloadManager is a way to let the system handle the download for you  It s actually capable of downloading any kind of files  not just images  You may let your download happen silently and invisible to the user  or you can enable the user to see the download in the notification area  You can also register a BroadcastReceiver to get notified after you download is complete  The setup is pretty much straightforward  refer to the linked project for sample code   Using the DownloadManager is generally not a good idea if you also want to display the image  since you d need to read and decode the saved file instead of just setting the downloaded Bitmap into an ImageView  The DownloadManager also does not provide any API for you app to track the download progress    --  Now the introduction of the great stuff - the libraries  They can do much more than just downloading and displaying images  including  creating and managing the memory disk cache  resizing images  transforming them and more   I will start with Volley  a powerful library created by Google and covered by the official documentation  While being a general-purpose networking library not specializing on images  Volley features quite a powerful API for managing images   You will need to implement a Singleton class for managing Volley requests and you are good to go    You might want to replace your ImageView with Volley s NetworkImageView  so the download basically becomes a one-liner      NetworkImageView  findViewById R id myNIV   setImageUrl url  MySingleton getInstance this  getImageLoader       If you need more control  this is what it looks like to create an ImageRequest with Volley        ImageRequest imgRequest   new ImageRequest url  new Response Listener lt Bitmap gt                    Override              public void onResponse Bitmap response                          do stuff                                  0  0  ImageView ScaleType CENTER CROP  Bitmap Config ARGB 8888                new Response ErrorListener                   Override              public void onErrorResponse VolleyError error                         do stuff                                     It is worth mentioning that Volley features an excellent error handling mechanism by providing the VolleyError class that helps you to determine the exact cause of an error  If your app does a lot of networking and managing images isn t its main purpose  then Volley it a perfect fit for you   --  Square s Picasso is a well-known library which will do all of the image loading stuff for you  Just displaying an image using Picasso is as simple as    Picasso with myContext          load url          into myImageView      By default  Picasso manages the disk memory cache so you don t need to worry about that  For more control you can implement the Target interface and use it to load your image into - this will provide callbacks similar to the Volley example  Check the demo project for examples   Picasso also lets you apply transformations to the downloaded image and there are even other libraries around that extend those API  Also works very well in a RecyclerView ListView GridView   --  Universal Image Loader is an another very popular library serving the purpose of image management  It uses its own ImageLoader that  once initialized  has a global instance which can be used to download images in a single line of code     ImageLoader getInstance   displayImage url  myImageView     If you want to track the download progress or access the downloaded Bitmap    ImageLoader getInstance   displayImage url  myImageView  opts    new ImageLoadingListener           Override      public void onLoadingStarted String imageUri  View view                           do stuff                           Override       public void onLoadingFailed String imageUri  View view  FailReason failReason                         do stuff                           Override       public void onLoadingComplete String imageUri  View view  Bitmap loadedImage                         do stuff                           Override       public void onLoadingCancelled String imageUri  View view                         do stuff                                  new ImageLoadingProgressListener            Override       public void onProgressUpdate String imageUri  View view  int current  int total                         do stuff                                     The opts argument in this example is a DisplayImageOptions object  Refer to the demo project to learn more   Similar to Volley  UIL provides the FailReason class that enables you to check what went wrong on download failure  By default  UIL maintains a memory disk cache if you don t explicitly tell it not to do so   Note  the author has mentioned that he is no longer maintaining the project as of Nov 27th  2015  But since there are many contributors  we can hope that the Universal Image Loader will live on   --  Facebook s Fresco is the newest and  IMO  the most advanced library that takes image management to a new level  from keeping Bitmaps off the java heap  prior to Lollipop  to supporting animated formats and progressive JPEG streaming    To learn more about ideas and techniques behind Fresco  refer to this post   The basic usage is quite simple  Note that you ll need to call  Fresco initialize Context   only once  preferable in the Application class  Initializing Fresco more than once may lead to unpredictable behavior and OOM errors   Fresco uses Drawees to display images  you can think of them as of ImageViews        lt com facebook drawee view SimpleDraweeView     android id    id drawee      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      fresco fadeDuration  500      fresco actualImageScaleType  centerCrop      fresco placeholderImage   drawable placeholder grey      fresco failureImage   drawable error orange      fresco placeholderImageScaleType  fitCenter      fresco failureImageScaleType  centerInside      fresco retryImageScaleType  centerCrop      fresco progressBarImageScaleType  centerInside      fresco progressBarAutoRotateInterval  1000      fresco roundAsCircle  false    gt    As you can see  a lot of stuff  including transformation options  gets already defined in XML  so all you need to do to display an image is a one-liner    mDrawee setImageURI Uri parse url      Fresco provides an extended customization API  which  under circumstances  can be quite complex and requires the user to read the docs carefully  yes  sometimes you need to RTFM    I have included examples for progressive JPEG s and animated images into the sample project     Conclusion -  I have learned about the great stuff  what should I use now       Note that the following text reflects my personal opinion and should   not be taken as a postulate     If you only need to download save display some images  don t plan to use them in a Recycler- Grid- ListView and don t need a whole bunch of images to be display-ready  the BasicImageDownloader should fit your needs  If your app saves images  or other files  as a result of a user or an automated action and you don t need the images to be displayed often  use the Android DownloadManager  In case your app does a lot of networking  transmits receives JSON data  works with images  but those are not the main purpose of the app  go with Volley  Your app is image media-focused  you d like to apply some transformations to images and don t want to bother with complex API  use Picasso  Note  does not provide any API to track the intermediate download status  or Universal Image Loader If your app is all about images  you need advanced features like displaying animated formats and you are ready to read the docs  go with Fresco

I have a simple solution which is working perfectly  The code is not mine  I found it on this link  Here are the steps to follow   1  Before downloading the image  let   s write a method for saving bitmap into an image file in the internal storage in android  It needs a context  better to use the pass in the application context by getApplicationContext    This method can be dumped into your Activity class or other util classes   public void saveImage Context context  Bitmap b  String imageName         FileOutputStream foStream      try                foStream   context openFileOutput imageName  Context MODE PRIVATE           b compress Bitmap CompressFormat PNG  100  foStream           foStream close               catch  Exception e                 Log d  saveImage    Exception 2  Something went wrong             e printStackTrace              2  Now we have a method to save bitmap into an image file in andorid  let   s write the AsyncTask for downloading images by url  This private class need to be placed in your Activity class as a subclass  After the image is downloaded  in the onPostExecute method  it calls the saveImage method defined above to save the image  Note  the image name is hardcoded as    my image png      private class DownloadImage extends AsyncTask lt String  Void  Bitmap gt        private String TAG    DownloadImage       private Bitmap downloadImageBitmap String sUrl            Bitmap bitmap   null          try               InputStream inputStream   new URL sUrl  openStream         Download Image from URL             bitmap   BitmapFactory decodeStream inputStream            Decode Bitmap             inputStream close              catch  Exception e                Log d TAG   Exception 1  Something went wrong                 e printStackTrace                      return bitmap              Override     protected Bitmap doInBackground String    params            return downloadImageBitmap params 0               protected void onPostExecute Bitmap result            saveImage getApplicationContext    result   my image png              3  The AsyncTask for downloading the image is defined  but we need to execute it in order to run that AsyncTask  To do so  write this line in your onCreate method in your Activity class  or in an onClick method of a button or other places you see fit   new DownloadImage   execute  http   developer android com images activity lifecycle png      The image should be saved in  data data your app packagename files my image jpeg  check this post for accessing this directory from your device   IMO this solves the issue  If you want further steps such as load the image you can follow these extra steps   4  After the image is downloaded  we need a way to load the image bitmap from the internal storage  so we can use it  Let   s write the method for loading the image bitmap  This method takes two paramethers  a context and an image file name  without the full path  the context openFileInput imageName  will look up the file at the save directory when this file name was saved in the above saveImage method   public Bitmap loadImageBitmap Context context  String imageName        Bitmap bitmap   null      FileInputStream fiStream      try           fiStream      context openFileInput imageName           bitmap        BitmapFactory decodeStream fiStream           fiStream close          catch  Exception e            Log d  saveImage    Exception 3  Something went wrong             e printStackTrace              return bitmap      5  Now we have everything we needed for setting the image of an ImageView or any other Views that you like to use the image on  When we save the image  we hardcoded the image name as    my image jpeg     now we can pass this image name to the above loadImageBitmap method to get the bitmap and set it to an ImageView   someImageView setImageBitmap loadImageBitmap getApplicationContext     my image jpeg       6  To get the image full path by image name   File file              getApplicationContext   getFileStreamPath  my image jpeg    String imageFullPath   file getAbsolutePath      7  Check if the image file exists   File file                getApplicationContext   getFileStreamPath  my image jpeg    if  file exists    Log d  file    my image jpeg exists        To delete the image file   File file              getApplicationContext   getFileStreamPath  my image jpeg    if  file delete    Log d  file    my image jpeg deleted
