class cast exception while loading image from the url in android

Question

I'm using dynamic table layout, in that there is image, and textview. The data is coming from an XML document. What I want is that in table the layout at runtime, I have to get the parsed image and textview. I am getting the textview correctly but not the image. I used the method LoadImageFromWebOperations for loading the image, but it gets a class cast exception and error like this:

org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnectionImpl$LimitedInputStream

What could be causing the exception?

EDIT code from comment

private Drawable LoadImageFromWebOperations(String friend_image) { 
  try { 
         System.out.println("friend_image "+friend_image); 
         InputStream is = (InputStream) new URL(friend_image).getContent(); 
         Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src name"); 
          return d; 
         } catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.println("Exc at oadImageFromWebOperations "+e);
           return null;
       } 
 }

private Drawable LoadImageFromWebOperations(String friend_image) { try { System.out.println("friend_image "+friend_image); InputStream is = (InputStream) new URL(friend_image).getContent(); Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src name"); return d; } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Exc at LoadImageFromWebOperations "+e); return null; } }and — MJBoss

Try this code; it may solve your problem:

   Bitmap bmImg;
   public Bitmap downloadFile(String fileUrl){
      URL myFileUrl =null;          
      try {
           myFileUrl= new URL(fileUrl);
      } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
           // TODO Auto-generated catch block
           e.printStackTrace();
      }
      try {
           HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection)myFileUrl.openConnection();
           conn.setDoInput(true);
           conn.connect();
           int length = conn.getContentLength();
           InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();

           bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
           //imView.setImageBitmap(bmImg);
           return bmImg;
      } catch (IOException e) {
           // TODO Better error handling
           e.printStackTrace();
           return null;
      }
 }
