Get high-res contact photo as bitmap below API level 14 Android

Question

I need the contact images of my contacts as bitmaps.

I found this code:

        Uri my_contact_Uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTE         


        

Answer 1

It's simple: there is not high res contact picture below API 14. You need to use the low res on lower APIs or set min-sdk to 14.

It was added in API 14 and lower APIs will never have anything behind the Uri you created by hand.
