How can universal image loader be used to set image to other views other than ImageView?

Question

I need to set an image to an ImageSwitcher by downloading it from server. But the universal image loader seems to take ImageView as a parameter.

I read that we can use ImageAware to display image on any android view.

Can someone help me how to go about this ?

Thanks, Sneha

Use loadImage instead. That will get you a bitmap that you can use to do whatever you want with it.

// Load image, decode it to Bitmap and return Bitmap to callback
imageLoader.loadImage(imageUri, new SimpleImageLoadingListener() {
    @Override
    public void onLoadingComplete(String imageUri, View view, Bitmap loadedImage) {
        // Do whatever you want with Bitmap
    }
});
