Image Picture URL causes NetworkOnMainThreadException

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  On android 3.0+, if you create a brand new app and just try to set an 
aBImage component Picture to a URL in Screen Initialized the 
NetworkOnMainThreadException exception gets thrown, e.g.

private void screenInitialized() {
        // This method is run when the screen is initialized, and reports a valid width/height. 

        aBImage1.Picture("http://b.vimeocdn.com/ps/322/524/3225240_30.jpg");
    }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is an image. Instead it force closes the app (on android 3.0+).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version of altBridge jar 8 June 2013 19:01:34, Windows 7 64 bit.

Looks like this is a bigger problem than just with Image in screen initialize. 
If you try to set the Image of any component on android 3.0+, you will get that 
error.

This is going to take some thought.

Ouch. A quick and dirty quick fix is to set Strict Mode to off. 
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new 
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
    StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);

But is not considered a good idea.
