Drag image from your hard drive to Drawable folder in your project and in code use it like this:

ImageView image;

image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.yourimageviewid);
image.setImageResource(R.drawable.imagename);

You can set imageview in XML file like this : 

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/image1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/imagep1" />

and you can define image view in android java file like :

ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewId);

and set Image with drawable like :

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.imageFileId);

and set image with your memory folder like :

File file = new File(SupportedClass.getString("pbg"));
if (file.exists()) {
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
        Bitmap selectDrawable = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath(), options);
        imageView.setImageBitmap(selectDrawable);
}
else
{
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "File not Exist", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

In res folder select the XML file in which you want to view your images,

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/image1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/imagep1" />

If you want to display an image file on the phone, you can do this:

private ImageView mImageView;
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewId);
mImageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile("pathToImageFile"));

If you want to display an image from your drawable resources, do this:

private ImageView mImageView;
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewId);
mImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.imageFileId);

You'll find the drawable folder(s) in the project res folder. You can put your image files there.

shoud be @drawable/image where image could have any extension like: image.png, image.xml, image.gif. Android will automatically create a reference in R class with its name, so you cannot have in any drawable folder image.png and image.gif.
