Android - get facebook profile picture

Question

I don\'t know why, but I am always getting null when I try to get the profile picture of the user. Do I need to set some specific permissions to get access?

Below is

Answer 1

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();

bundle.putString ("fields", "full_picture,message");

new GraphRequest(
                AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(),
                "{page-id}/feed",
                bundle,
                HttpMethod.GET,
                new GraphRequest.Callback() {
                    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
            /* handle the result */
                        Log.e("TAG", response.toString());
                    }
                }
        ).executeAsync();

I have done this way:

Get Bitmap from Image Url of Facebook:

String imageUrl = "http://graph.facebook.com/103407310026838/picture?type=large&width=1000&height=1000";

Bitmap bitmap = getFacebookProfilePicture(imageUrl);

Function for Bitmap:

private Bitmap getFacebookProfilePicture(String url){
    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    HttpGet httpRequest = new HttpGet(URI.create(url));
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpResponse mResponse;
    try {
    mResponse = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);
    HttpEntity entity = mResponse.getEntity();
        BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
        bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bufHttpEntity.getContent());
        httpRequest.abort();
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
   return bitmap;
 }

It's Done.

Best way to Get Profile Picture URL

int dimensionPixelSize = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(com.facebook.R.dimen.com_facebook_profilepictureview_preset_size_large);
Uri profilePictureUri= Profile.getCurrentProfile().getProfilePictureUri(dimensionPixelSize , dimensionPixelSize);

or

Uri profilePictureUri = ImageRequest.getProfilePictureUri(Profile.getCurrentProfile().getId(), dimensionPixelSize , dimensionPixelSize );

Use Glide to show Image

Glide.with(this).load(profilePictureUri)
                .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE)
                .into(profilePictureView);

No more hard-coded string

Answer 4

   public static Bitmap getFacebookProfilePicture(String userID)
                throws SocketException, SocketTimeoutException,
                MalformedURLException, IOException, Exception {
            String imageURL;
            Bitmap bitmap = null;
            imageURL = "http://graph.facebook.com/" + userID
                    + "/picture?type=large";

             URL url1 = new URL(imageURL);
                HttpURLConnection ucon1 = (HttpURLConnection) url1.openConnection();
                ucon1.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
                URL secondURL1 = new URL(ucon1.getHeaderField("Location"));
            InputStream in = (InputStream) new URL(imageURL).getContent();
            bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
            return bitmap;
        }

use this code.....

Answer 5

On my graph api was not working because of the question mark

If you are using 1 pram after picture it would be

picture&type=large

for two params we would use the question mark

picture?type=large&redirect=false

Hope it Helps!

Answer 6

Url seems OK.

So problem is with your connection. Does URL.getContent() really return stream? Because if BitmapFactory gets null it also returns null.

Try this:

Bitmap bitmap = null;
URL url = new URL(http://graph.facebook.com/"+userID+"/picture?type=large);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
try {
   InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
   bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
}
finally {
      urlConnection.disconnect();
}
