Hi i'm trying to add an image to an ImageView from a URL i have tried loading it as a bitmap but nothing is showing. so does anyone know what the best method to do this is or what i'm doing wrong?

heres my code

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //Check Preferences which sets UI
    setContentView(R.layout.singlenews);
      TextView headerText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.header_text);
       headerText.setText("Latest News");


     PostTask posttask;
       posttask = new PostTask();
       posttask.execute();
}

public void loadNews(){

    newsStr = getIntent().getStringExtra("singleNews");




    try {
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(newsStr);
        content = obj.getString("content");
          title = obj.getString("title");
          fullName = obj.getString("fullname");
          created = obj.getString("created");
        NewsImageURL = obj.getString("image_primary");
        tagline = obj.getString("tagline");

        meta = "posted by: " + fullName + " " + created;


        URL aURL = new URL("NewsImageURL");
        URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();
        conn.connect();
        InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
        /* Buffered is always good for a performance plus. */
        BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
        /* Decode url-data to a bitmap. */
         bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);
        bis.close();
        is.close();
        /* Apply the Bitmap to the ImageView that will be returned. */






        Log.v("lc", "content=" + content);
        Log.v("lc", "title=" + title);
        Log.v("lc", "fullname=" + fullName);
        Log.v("lc", "created=" + created);
        Log.v("lc", "NewsImage=" + NewsImageURL);
        Log.v("lc", "Meta=" + meta);
        Log.v("lc", "tagline=" + tagline);
