Android: Can't get an image to download with the URLs

Hello all, I am retrieving image URLs from the server and they are appearing like this:

http:\/\/static.giantbomb.com\/uploads\/square_avatar\/8\/87790\/1814630-box_ff7.png

As a result, the android system does not understand it and when I try to make a call to download the image, it will not work. Does anyone have any idea how to make it so that I can actually download images and use them in something like an imageView?

Thanks!

If that's your only problem, you should be able to do String.replace() or something similar to convert all instances of "\/" into "/".

@cloudymusic: That did indeed do it. Thanks! I ended up having to use the following:

private String formatTheBadURL(String icon_url) {

String return_url;

return_url = icon_url.replaceAll("\\\\", "");

Log.d("Formatted String", return_url);

return return_url;

}
