Android - Can't load image from http

I need to load an image from http, and I'm using this code:

                        Bitmap bitmap;                        
                        InputStream is = null;
                        try {
                            is = (InputStream) new URL("www.TESTWEBSITE.com/TEST.JPG").getContent();
                        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }



                        bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);

But bitmap is still null.. Any help please ?

Update : this is full snapshot performing what you want :

        Bitmap bitmap = null;
        HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
        try {
            URL url = new URL("www.TESTWEBSITE.com/TEST.JPG");
            urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            InputStream is = urlConnection.getInputStream();
            bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (urlConnection != null) {
                urlConnection.disconnect();
            }
        }

Please, make sure to run it off UI thread, such as in AsyncTask as others have commented. You can try it in main thread for experimental purposes but be prepared for ANR.
