Load an image from assets folder into an ImageView in Android

For testing purpose, this code snippet can be run in the onCreate Method of an Activity class. It renders an image in app/assets/my_image.jpg into an ImageView.

AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv_image);
try {
    InputStream ims = assetManager.open("my_image.jpg");
    Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(ims, null);
    imageView.setImageDrawable(d);
} catch (IOException ex) {
    return;
}
