Just for kicks I copied most of the answers here into a single class to see if any of them would succeed in getting the Facebook thumbnail. They didn't.... But, here is what I did to perhaps save you doing the same.
It shows the results in a dialog for ease.
Please be aware - it's not optimised and you'll need to catch errors and close cursors etc:
To start the contact picker intent:
private static final int SELECT_CONTACT = 1468;
Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
contactPickerIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
try {
startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, SELECT_CONTACT);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
The callback:
@Override
public void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int resultCode, final Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (data != null && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
switch (requestCode) {
case SELECT_CONTACT:
Uri contactURI = data.getData();
if (contactURI != null) {
String contactID = data.getData().getLastPathSegment().trim();
String contactName = ContactThumb.getDisplayName(getActivity(), contactURI);
if (contactName != null && !contactName.isEmpty() && contactID != null && !contactID.isEmpty()) {
final int THUMBNAIL_SIZE = 100;
Bitmap contactThumb = ContactThumb.loadContactPhoto(getActivity(), Long.valueOf(contactID));
if (contactThumb != null) {
final AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
final int width = contactThumb.getWidth();
final int height = contactThumb.getHeight();
final int ratio = width / height;
final Bitmap resized = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(contactThumb, (THUMBNAIL_SIZE * ratio),
THUMBNAIL_SIZE);
Drawable icon = new BitmapDrawable(getActivity().getResources(), resized);
alert.setIcon(icon);
alert.setTitle("Contact details");
final TextView homeTV = new TextView(getActivity());
homeTV.setText(contactName + " : " + contactID);
homeTV.setTextSize(12);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
homeTV.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
}
homeTV.setPadding(30, 2, 20, 10);
homeTV.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
alert.setView(homeTV);
alert.show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Photo null", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
break;
}
} else {
// cancelled or error
}
}
The ContactThumb attempts....
