im developing asp .net web api to use it in my adnroid app, : I'm developing restful webservice  using asp.net web api to use it in my android app 

and here what I get when I run my api 

   

    [
      {
        "id": 41,
        "firstName": "ahmed",
        "lastName": "jallad",
        "gender": "male",
        "salary": 6000,
        "img": "C:\\Users\\ahmed\\Desktop\\hi.png"
      },
      {
        "id": 46,
        "firstName": "ali",
        "lastName": "ali",
        "gender": "male ",
        "salary": 5000,
        "img": "C:\\Users\\ahmed\\Desktop\\hi.png"
      },
      {
        "id": 47,
        "firstName": "wael",
        "lastName": "wael",
        "gender": "male",
        "salary": 6000,
        "img": "C:\\Users\\ahmed\\Desktop\\hi.png"
      },
      {
        "id": 48,
        "firstName": "sara",
        "lastName": "sara",
        "gender": "female",
        "salary": 5000,
        "img": "C:\\Users\\ahmed\\Desktop\\hi.png"
      },
      {
        "id": 49,
        "firstName": null,
        "lastName": null,
        "gender": null,
        "salary": null,
        "img": "C:\\Users\\ahmed\\Desktop\\hi.png"
      }
    ]

I'm storing the path of the image in sql database, and here is .net code 

    public HttpResponseMessage Get(string gender = "ALL")
        {
            using (EmployeeDBEntities entities = new EmployeeDBEntities())
            {
                int a = 0;
                switch (gender.ToLower())
                {
                    case "all":
                        
                        return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, entities.Employees.ToList());
                    case "male":
                        return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, entities.Employees.Where(e => e.Gender.ToLower() == "male").ToList());
                    case "female":
                        return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, entities.Employees.Where(e => e.Gender.ToLower() == "female").ToList());
                    default:
                        return Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "value for gender must be Male, Femle or ALL. " + gender + " is not valid");
                }
            }
        }

my question is how can open the image from its path when I call from an android application 
thanks in advance
