Can someone please explain to me what's an image uri? I have an android app with a listview that can attach an image, and that listview displays the imag uri. thanks

URI or Uniform Resource Identifier is a compact sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. It can be further classified as a locator, a name, or both.
Basically URI (in some cases URL or URN) will point to the image location, or will be the name of the image (why not both?).
Let's take a look at some URI examples:
- https://stackoverflow.com/ (a URL because of the HTTPS protocol)
- ftp://ftp.is.co.za/rfc/rfc1808.txt (also a URL because of the FTP protocol)
- http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt (also a URL because of the HTTP protocol)
- ldap://[2001:db8::7]/c=GB?objectClass?one (also a URL because of the protocol)
- mailto:John.Doe@example.com
- tel:+1-816-555-1212
- telnet://192.0.2.16:80/ (also a URL because of the protocol)
