What is "display a URL image"?

Where and how are you trying to display an image? As a single image in a
widget-based layout? As an image in a row of a ListView? As part of
drawing on a Canvas for a 2D game? As part of rendering an OpenGL 3D
animation? As an image on a Web page in an HTML5 application? Something
else?

That is because doing it properly can be complex, depending on how you
are using it. For example, putting thumbnails in a ListView can be a
substantial amount of code, to handle downloading in the background,
displaying the images in the list once they are downloaded, managing a
cache so if you have 10,000 rows in the list you don't try downloading
and holding onto 10,000 images, etc.

The more you can explain about where and how you are trying to "display
a URL image", the better people can help you with your questions.
