Find and Display an Image

Listing 33.23  Downloading and displaying image (LocatrFragment.java)

private class SearchTask extends AsyncTask<Location,Void,Void> {
private GalleryItem mGalleryItem;
private Bitmap mBitmap;

@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Location... params) {
...
mGalleryItem = items.get(0);

try {
byte[] bytes = fetchr.getUrlBytes(mGalleryItem.getUrl());
mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
Log.i(TAG, "Unable to download bitmap", ioe);
}
return null;
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
mImageView.setImageBitmap(mBitmap);
}
}

With that, you should be able to find a nearby image on Flickr (Figure 33.11). Fire up Locatr and press
your location button.
