If I understand correctly, you want to load an image in your webview which its URL is stored in a database? Well why don't you use a ImageView? I've always used Picasso with ImageViews and never had any problems. Here is an example: http://square.github.io/picasso/ I hope it helped you out.

  • Do you want to store the URL that you loaded inside your webview to be saved inside the database? – Sébastien de craene Jul 31 '17 at 10:02
  • Yes sir, and also i want that if i want to change it, i can do it from database so that new webpage is shown at the place of previous – Rohit B Jul 31 '17 at 20:44
  • The storing is not the hardest part? Just getting the url from the webview by using `String webUrl = webView.getUrl();`, You have to create a listener that checks the database every x (mili)seconds, but that causes a lot of traffic, so it isn't ideal. – Sébastien de craene Aug 01 '17 at 08:21
