How do I load url into Image into DrawImage in Compose UI Android Jetpack?

Staring with 1.0.x the best way to achieve it is to use the Coil-Compose library.

Add in your build.gradle the dependency

dependencies {
    implementation("io.coil-kt:coil-compose:1.3.1")
}

Then just use:

Image(
    painter = rememberImagePainter("your url"),
    contentDescription = "My content description",
)

This loads the url passed in with rememberImagePainter, and then displays the resulting image using the standard Image composable.
