get System.err: "java.net.UnknownHostException" while trying to load image

I'm making an app that uses the ebay api to list specific items. i got the api to work, it fetches the json which i parse. Every thing works except loading the image. I know the url is correct, you could try it yourself 

http:\/\/thumbs1.ebaystatic.com\/pict\/390822678504404000000001_6.jpg

i tried various different image loader methods but they all give the same error: System.err: java.net.UnknownHostException: http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/pict/390822678504404000000001_6.jpg

any ideas thanks

Solution

  • use picasso

    Picasso.with(getApplicationContext())
.load("http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/pict/390822678504404000000001_6.jpg")
.fit()
.centerInside()
.into(yourImageView);

    Add the dependency:

    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
