Question

I’m trying to get a users facebook profile pic using the FB api.

My way of doing this isn’t working… first I make a request like this:

String str = facebook.request("me/picture");

Next I create an inputstream from the string str so I can decode it with a bitmapfactory

InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(str.getBytes());

Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);

iv.setImageBitmap(bm);

This never displays the image!
Haven’t been able to find much about this. Any help would be appreciated.

I fixed this by just using HTTPGet to the url The first time I tried it I got a 404 error but when I rewrote it it worked!
