I want to show a picture from URL in my recyclerview

Issue

I have a recyclerview which I populate from an API , there is a URL of a picture I want to show in my imageview, I tried few methods it gives Network Thread exception,

My Adapter Class,

 @Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull ViewHolder holder, int position) {
    ItemPayload model = list.get(position);
    Log.d("aaa",model.getTrack().getName().toString());

    String image = model.getTrack().getAlbum().getImages().get(position).getUrl();
    URL newurl = null;
    try {
        newurl = new URL(image);
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Bitmap mIcon_val = null;
    try {
        HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection)newurl.openConnection();
        conn.setDoInput(true);
        conn.connect();
        int length = conn.getContentLength();
        int[] bitmapData =new int[length];
        byte[] bitmapData2 =new byte[length];
        InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();

        mIcon_val = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is,null,options);

        holder.songCover.setImageBitmap(mIcon_val);
        
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }



    holder.textSong.setText(model.getTrack().getName());
    holder.textArtist.setText(model.getTrack().getArtists().get(0).getName());
    holder.textTrack.setText(model.getTrack().getAlbum().getTotal_tracks().toString());
    String url = model.getTrack().getExternal_urls().getSpotify();
    holder.textSong.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent viewIntent =
                    new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse(url));
            viewIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            context.startActivity(viewIntent);
        }
    });

}

Does Anyone know a easier way to do it? or any fixes?

Solution

You can use Picasso library for the same.

Permission in android manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Add Picasso in app level build.gradle

implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'

Loading image

Picasso.get().load(model.getTrack().getAlbum().getImages().get(position).getUrl()).into(holder.songCover);
