This should solve it. but be sure to access setfollowredirects statically i.e HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(HttpURLConnection.getFollowRedirects());

url = new URL("https://graph.facebook.com/ID/picture?type=small");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();                                           HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(HttpURLConnection.getFollowRedirects());
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.connect();
input = connection.getInputStream();

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input, null, options);

// Calculate inSampleSize
options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, 300, 300);

 // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
options.inPreferredConfig = Config.RGB_565;
myBitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input, null, options);

or

url = new URL("https://graph.facebook.com/ID/picture?type=small");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();                                                HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(HttpURLConnection.getFollowRedirects());
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.connect();
input = connection.getInputStream();
myBitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);

Hope this helps
