Android and Facebook: How to get picture of logged in User

Question

I use the official Facebook SDK in my Android Application. After the user logs in, I can get the uid and the name of the facebook user like so:

Facebook mFac         


        

Answer 1

request("me/picture") throws an error because the server returns a 302 (redirect to the image url) and the facebook sdk does not handle this.

Answer 2

Add one line of code and that will be resolved.

HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(true);

Answer 3

I also had that problem some time ago. What I did was download the picture using an async task, and then set an ImageView with the image just downloaded. I will paste the code snippet:

ImageView fbUserAvatar = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.fb_user_avatar);

private synchronized void downloadAvatar() {
    AsyncTask<Void, Void, Bitmap> task = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Bitmap>() {

        @Override
        public Bitmap doInBackground(Void... params) {
            URL fbAvatarUrl = null;
            Bitmap fbAvatarBitmap = null;
            try {
                fbAvatarUrl = new URL("http://graph.facebook.com/"+USER_ID+"/picture");
                fbAvatarBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fbAvatarUrl.openConnection().getInputStream());
            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return fbAvatarBitmap;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
            fbUserAvatar.setImageBitmap(result);
        }

    };
    task.execute();
}

This code works for me. I hope it works for you too.

Answer 4

Use this, (usuario is a GraphUser):

ProfilePictureView p;
p = (ProfilePictureView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.fotoPerfil);
p.setProfileId(usuario.getId());

and xml markup:

<com.facebook.widget.ProfilePictureView
    android:id="@+id/profilePicture"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
    facebook:preset_size="normal"/>

Answer 5

For displaying profile pic in your app, use ProfilePictureView from Facebook SDK.

Refer This

Just call setProfileId(String profileId) on it.

It will take care of displaying the image.

Answer 6

ImageView user_picture;
 userpicture=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.userpicture);
 URL img_value = null;
 img_value = new URL("http://graph.facebook.com/"+id+"/picture?type=large");
 Bitmap mIcon1 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(img_value.openConnection().getInputStream());
 userpicture.setImageBitmap(mIcon1);

where ID is ur profile ID...
