import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class AndroidLoadImageViewActivity extends Activity {
 
 String imagefile ="/sdcard/IMG_9331.JPG";
 
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image);
        Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagefile);
        image.setImageBitmap(bm);
    }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
