Question

i am trying to fetch a contact image using contact id.

Here is my code :-

public Bitmap getDisplayPhoto(Long id)
{
    Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI,id);
    InputStream input = Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(this.getContentResolver(), uri);
    if (input == null)
    {
       return null;
    }
    return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
}

This code is returning null for all of my contacts including those which has an image.

What am i doing wrong here?

Please Help!!

Thanks.

Answer 1

Are your contacts synced from Facebook? Because those appear to not be accessible.

If that’s not the case, you may want to try this:

InputStream input = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(this.getContentResolver(), uri);

Wasn’t sure if you had the import for ContactsContract in place.
