Hello ArcDroid, >From my experience, the design concept should be as follow:
We will have 2 threads: Main Thread will provide a call back for Image Thread to set image to ImageView. Image Thread will download/ load the bitmap, then use the call back to set Bitmap to ImageView. The call back can be either a method/ function in Main Thread that's wrapped by runOnUiThread or implemented by Handler of Main Thread. You can also try to update the ImageView in runOnUiThread, but that's not a good design, however, it will work.
