Answer 1

private Uri getPhotoUriFromID(String id) {
    try {
        Cursor cur = getContentResolver()
                .query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
                        null,
                        ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID
                                + "="
                                + id
                                + " AND "
                                + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE
                                + "='"
                                + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
                                + "'", null, null);
        if (cur != null) {
            if (!cur.moveToFirst()) {
                return null; // no photo
            }
        } else {
            return null; // error in cursor process
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
    Uri person = ContentUris.withAppendedId(
            ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, Long.parseLong(id));
    return Uri.withAppendedPath(person,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
}

This is the function where you need to pass contact id and you will get the URI of the image which you can set easily in the imageview.

use the response uri of this function like imageView.setImageURI(uri)

Hope it will work for your code.

Probably will help someone. Just leave it here.
This way you can get thumbnail uri by contact id.
Tested on Android API 28.

    ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
    String[] projection = new String[] {ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI};
    String where = ContactsContract.Contacts.NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID = "?";
    String[] selectionArgs = {your_contact_id}
    Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, projection, where, selectionArgs, null);

    String thumbnailUri;
    if ((cur != null ? cur.getCount() : 0) > 0) {
        if (cur.moveToNext()) {
            thumbnailUri = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI));
        }
    }
    if(cur!=null){
        cur.close();
    }
    return thumbnailUri;
