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

With Glide:

userId = loginResult.getAccessToken().getUserId();

then;

Glide.with(this)
        .load("https://graph.facebook.com/" + userId+ "/picture?type=large")
        .into(imgProfile);

Answer 2

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

I always received a response stating a FACEBOOK_NON_JSON_RESULT. So looking back in Facebook’s graph API explorer I noted a little checkbox with the label redirect checked. Some googling showed me that I needed to provide a parameter to my GraphRequest that disallows the redirect. Hence the correct request must be:

 Bundle params = new Bundle();
 params.putBoolean("redirect", false);

     new GraphRequest(
     AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(),
     "me/picture",
     params,
     HttpMethod.GET,
     new GraphRequest.Callback() {
        public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
            try {
                String picUrlString = (String) response.getJSONObject().getJSONObject("data").get("url");   
                //Load picture url in imageView
                Glide.with(this).load(picUrlString).diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE).into(profilePictureView);
            } catch (JSONException | IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
 ).executeAsync();

When you make request like this:

http://graph.facebook.com/103407310026838/picture?type=square&type=large

it makes a redirect to other url..

You need to add an extra param on Get request

redirect=false

Like this

http://graph.facebook.com/103407310026838/picture?type=square&type=large&redirect=false

and you will get the a Json with Real Image url..

Like this :

{
   "data": {
      "is_silhouette": true,
      "url": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/s200x200/1379841_10150004552801901_469209496895221757_n.jpg?oh=4234dcdfc832a58b9ef7a31c7896c73c&oe=57DD01F8"
   }
}

finally make new request to get the image that you found in data->url
