Custom arrayadapter for listview with image

Question

So I am following the tutorial here so I can images to my listview. The problem is in this tutorial the images are already installed so for getting the image it is saved as an int like so:

private int imageId;
private String title;
private String desc;

public RowItem(int imageId, String title, String desc) {
    this.imageId = imageId;
    this.title = title;
    this.desc = desc;
}
public int getImageId() {
    return imageId;
}

But I am getting the images from a server where it is coming to the app as a string and then be converted to a bitmap. The question I have is could I just change int to bitmap and everything will work out or is there something else I need to do? I don't want to work all the way through this and then it not work.

Thank you in advance,

Tyler

Actually you want to take a look at https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader to lazy load your images and caching them to prevent the network freeze your UI thread.

But would it still work if I just changed it to int to bitmap. I already know the app should always get the image as a string and I'm not sure how I would implement the image loader you posted.

nope it will not work as that easy. To see an example you can follow sunil-android.blogspot.it/2013/09/… I just googled for: listview universal image loader tutorial
