Download it via HttpClient and HttpResponse.
Create a Bitmap out of the Bytestream
Byte[] bytes = EntityUtils.toByteArray(entity);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bytes, 0,
                    bytes.length);
and draw it in your canvas via canvas.drawBitmap

If you use Drawable download it save it to an Inputstream and open it via 
Drawable.createfromStream(my stream)

Hi, the multitouch demo app was never intended to be a full photo viewer -- for 
starters, it is not OpenGL-accelerated, so it is slow and power-hungry. Also, 
images are loaded from resources just because it was the simplest possible way 
to load them. There are many Android tutorials on how to load images from other 
locations, for example by means of an Intent, or from a file on the SD card. A 
Google search for "Android load image" returns the following as the top hit, 
but there are many other relevant links too:

http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html

I'm closing this issue since it is not a bug with the actual multitouch 
library, but Stack Overflow is a great place to ask general Android programming 
questions if your code still isn't working after following the information at 
the above link. I hope this helps!
