android - Extract Images from JSON Object -

i fetching popular movies api, , trying poster images each movie. need extract poster_path parameter json string.

this code extract information json string:

final string owm_results = "results"; final string owm_posterpath = "poster_path";  string aux;  // moviejsonstr string full http request jsonobject moviejson = new jsonobject(moviejsonstr); jsonarray moviearray = moviejson.getjsonarray(owm_results);  for(int = 0; < moviearray.length(); i++) {     jsonobject movieobj = moviearray.getjsonobject(i);     aux = movieobj.getstring(owm_posterpath);     log.v("aux: ", aux); } 

the json string looks this:

{ "page":1, "results":[   {      "adult":false,      "backdrop_path":"/tbhdm8ujab4victsulyfl3lxmcd.jpg",      "genre_ids":[         53,         28,         12      ],      "id":76341,      "original_language":"en",      "original_title":"mad max: fury road",      "overview":"an apocalyptic story set in furthest reaches of our planet, in stark desert landscape humanity broken, , crazed fighting necessities of life. within world exist 2 rebels on run might able restore order. there's max, man of action , man of few words, seeks peace of mind following loss of wife , child in aftermath of chaos. , furiosa, woman of action , woman believes path survival may achieved if can make across desert childhood homeland.",      "release_date":"2015-05-15",      "poster_path":"/kqjl17yufvn9ovlyxypvtyrffak.jpg",      "popularity":46.603256,      "title":"mad max: fury road",      "video":false,      "vote_average":7.6,      "vote_count":2296   }] } 

assuming jsonobject indeed have images, how can extract them , convert them can manipulate instance of drawable?

there (in general) 2 ways pass images through json. first , in opinion not best 1 put raw image data json object. can encode image base64, , put string object, decode base64 , decode raw data bitmapfactory class.

the second , better way passing image url , seems json presented using method:

"poster_path":"/kqjl17yufvn9ovlyxypvtyrffak.jpg" 

the raw solution problem presented akhil batlawala's answer. real world applications should image library picasso usage like:

picasso picasso = new picasso(); picasso.load(url).fit().into(myimageview);
