My next challenge was to implement a picture gallery app and I found the following example:
http://www.androidpeople.com/android-gallery-imageview-example/
Also found an example of how to fetch images from the Web:
http://www.androidpeople.com/android-load-image-from-url-example/
So, all I needed to do was merge the two together…
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Gallery xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/gallery"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<ImageView android:id="@+id/ImageView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
