Research direction

The issue names Android's ImageView.setImageResource as the current entry point but provides no files or tests. Start by reviewing PhotoView's existing ImageView API and how image resources are handled, then clarify the intended URL-loading behavior and API. Done should mean a defined way to fetch and display an image from a String URL, with matching tests or documentation.

Description

🚀 Feature Requests

Fetch Image from an URL present in the form of String

Contextualize the feature

Images are stored as URLs in Cloud Databases. Need of a method to fetch image from that URL and then display.

Describe the feature

Currently to set an Image, the following method is invoked:

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.image_id)

The method only accepts a parameter of type resource id. But if a string is provided instead, it would give compilation errors. Please add a feature to fetch image from cloud database, given in form of URL. A URL is of type String.
