How to use AhamdDownloaderManager :->

Step 1) Download Jar and add to your project. Download this Jar and to your project
   
Step 2) It handle progress untill your images downloaded so create your layout similar like this

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/imagrParent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
        android:contentDescription="@string/app_name"
        android:scaleType="fitXY" >
    </ImageView>

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/bar"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:visibility="visible" />

</RelativeLayout>

Step 3) Now set AhamdDownloaderManager to load images

  ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
  ProgressBar bar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.bar);
  img.setTag(Url_To_download);
  AhmadDownloadManager ahmadDownload = new AhmadDownloadManager(this);
  ahmadDownload.DisplayImage(Url_To_download, this, img, bar, this);

Step 4) Handle failure : - We have one call back interface that we have to implement in Step 3

 @Override
 public void result(Bitmap bitmap) {
  Log.i("AhmadDownloadCallback", "Not able to download");
 }

 

Update 1.0.1 : I updated it on demand of my reader for reason likes.

1) How to scale image on base of custom height and width : New download jar have method 

ahmad.setCustomHeight(100, 100);

 

2) Avoiding condition if your URL is null : set Custom URL in new jar

ahmad.setCustomURL("www.google.com");
