Get contacts photo which are synced with facebook for android

Question

I am trying to show contact pictures in my application but I am getting pictures of those who were added manually only and not those which are synced with facebook. How to w

Answer 1

I get the picture for all the contacts even some that are synced from facebook with this code:

 * @param context
 *            The context used to retrieve the image.
 * @return The image of the user that is saved in the address book or null if
 *         the user does not exists or has no image.
 */
public Bitmap getContactPhoto(Context context) {
    ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
    Uri photoUri = getCurrentUri(contentResolver);

    if (photoUri != null) {
        InputStream input = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(
                contentResolver, photoUri);
        if (input != null) {
            return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
        }
    } else {
        Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "No photo Uri");
    }
    return null;
}

private Uri getCurrentUri(ContentResolver contentResolver) {
    Cursor contact = contentResolver.query(lookUpUri,
            new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID }, null, null, null);

    if (contact.moveToFirst()) {
        long userId = contact.getLong(contact.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
        return ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, userId);
    }
    return null;
}

Maybe have a look at the code again that creates your photoId. Don't use the Id of an photo in the data table to create the Uri. I also tried that and retrieving the photo worked for me only if I use an uri that links directly to the merged user. You will then get the default image for this person regardless from where it was synced.
