Android : Loading an image from the Web with Asynctask

How do I replace the following lines of code with an Asynctask ? How do you "get back" the Bitmap from the Asynctask ? Thank you.

ImageView mChart = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.Chart);
String URL = "http://www...anything ...";

mChart.setImageBitmap(download_Image(URL));

public static Bitmap download_Image(String url) {

        //---------------------------------------------------
        Bitmap bm = null;
        try {
            URL aURL = new URL(url);
            URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();
            conn.connect();
            InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
            BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
            bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);
            bis.close();
            is.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e("Hub","Error getting the image from server : " + e.getMessage().toString());
        } 
        return bm;
        //---------------------------------------------------

    }

I thought about something like this :

replace :

mChart.setImageBitmap(download_Image(graph_URL));

by something like :

mChart.setImageBitmap(new DownloadImagesTask().execute(graph_URL));

and 

public class DownloadImagesTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {

@Override
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
    return download_Image(urls[0]);
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
    mChart.setImageBitmap(result);              // how do I pass a reference to mChart here ?
}


private Bitmap download_Image(String url) {
    //---------------------------------------------------
    Bitmap bm = null;
    try {
        URL aURL = new URL(url);
        URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();
        conn.connect();
        InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
        BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(i

Try this code:

ImageView myFirstImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.myFirstImage);
ImageView mySecondImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.mySecondImage);
ImageView myThirdImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.myThirdImage);

String URL1 = "http://www.google.com/logos/2013/estonia_independence_day_2013-1057005.3-hp.jpg";
String URL2 = "http://www.google.com/logos/2013/park_su-geuns_birthday-1055005-hp.jpg";
String URL3 = "http://www.google.com/logos/2013/anne_cath_vestlys_93rd_birthday-1035005-hp.jpg";


myFirstImage.setTag(URL1);
mySecondImage.setTag(URL2);
myThirdImage.setTag(URL3);


new DownloadImageTask.execute(myFirstImage);
new DownloadImageTask.execute(mySecondImage);
new DownloadImageTask.execute(myThirdImage);



public class DownloadImagesTask extends AsyncTask<ImageView, Void, Bitmap> {

    ImageView imageView = null;

    @Override
    protected Bitmap doInBackground(ImageView... imageViews) {
        this.imageView = imageViews[0];
        return download_Image((String)imageView.getTag());
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
        imageView.setImageBitmap(result);
    }

    private Bitmap download_Image(String url) {

        Bitmap bmp =null;
        try{
            URL ulrn = new URL(url);
            HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)ulrn.openConnection();
            InputStream is = con.getInputStream();
            bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
            if (null != bmp)
                return bmp;

            }catch(Exception e){}
        return bmp;
    }
}
