Android - Retrieve Contact Photo and Display

Question

Answer 1

You try to get the contact id of the contact(phonenumber) and use Bitmapfactory to decode the image as shown in below working code.

InputStream inputStream=null;
String[] projection = new String[]{Contacts._ID};
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,Uri.encode(phnumber));
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection,
    null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
    long contactId=c.getColumnIndex(Contacts._ID);

    inputStream = Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(activity.getContentResolver(),
                            ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, cntID));
    c.close();

}

use the inputstream to get bitmap

Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
 holder.ivPic.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
