This example demonstrates how do I download and save an image from a given URL in android.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   android:id="@+id/coordinatorLayout"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent">
   <Button
      android:id="@+id/btnDownload"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Download Image"
      android:layout_margin="25dp"
      android:layout_gravity="top|center_horizontal" />
   <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/imageView"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="200dp"
      android:scaleType="centerCrop"
      app:layout_anchor="@id/btnDownload"
      android:layout_gravity="bottom"
      app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom"
      android:layout_margin="10dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   Context context;
   Activity activity;
   CoordinatorLayout coordinatorLayout;
   Button button;
   ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;
   ImageView mImageView;
   URL url;
   AsyncTask mMyTask;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      context = getApplicationContext();
      activity = MainActivity.this;
      coordinatorLayout = findViewById(R.id.coordinatorLayout);
      button = findViewById(R.id.btnDownload);
      mImageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
      mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(activity);
      mProgressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
      mProgressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
      mProgressDialog.setTitle("AsyncTask");
      mProgressDialog.setMessage("Please wait, we are downloading your image file...");
      button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View view) {
            mMyTask = new DownloadTask().execute(stringToURL());
         }
      });
   }
   private class DownloadTask extends AsyncTask<URL,Void,Bitmap>{
      protected void onPreExecute(){
         mProgressDialog.show();
      }
      protected Bitmap doInBackground(URL...urls){
         URL url = urls[0];
         HttpURLConnection connection = null;
         try{
            connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            connection.connect();
            InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
            BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream);
            return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bufferedInputStream);
         }catch(IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
         }
         return null;
      }
      // When all async task done
      protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result){
         // Hide the progress dialog
         mProgressDialog.dismiss();
         if(result!=null){
            mImageView.setImageBitmap(result);
         } else {
            // Notify user that an error occurred while downloading image
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         }
      }
   }
   protected URL stringToURL() {
      try {
         url = new URL("https://wallpapersite.com/images/pages/pic_w/6408.jpg");
         return url;
      } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
      return null;
   }
}
Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.sample">
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>
Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer.
