Answer 6

use the facebook ProfilePictureView instead of an Imageview

<com.facebook.login.widget.ProfilePictureView
    android:id="@+id/friendProfilePicture"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    facebook:preset_size="small"/>

After that you can set facebook id like this in code

ProfilePictureView profilePictureView;

profilePictureView = (ProfilePictureView) findViewById(R.id.friendProfilePicture);

profilePictureView.setProfileId(userId);

it works.. also You can set the size to small/normal/large/custom for ProfilePictureView
