Android getting contact phone image

Question

Hey all i have a programmer thats having some trouble with getting my phone image to display in an app. the following code is what he is using to get the contact picture:

private long getContactIdFromNumber(String number) {
    Cursor c = null;
    try {
        String[] projection = new String[] { Contacts.Phones.PERSON_ID };
        Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
                Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL, Uri.encode(number));
        c = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null,
                null);

        if (c.moveToFirst()) {
            long contactId = c.getLong(c
                    .getColumnIndex(Contacts.Phones.PERSON_ID));
            return contactId;
        }
    } finally {
        c.close();
    }
    return -1;
}

private boolean initPhoto() {
    boolean result = true;
    try {
        contactPhoto = People.loadContactPhoto(getApplicationContext(),
                ContentUris.withAppendedId(People.CONTENT_URI,
                        getContactIdFromNumber(phoneNumber)),
                R.drawable.header, null);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        result = false;
    }
    return result;
}

if (initPhoto()) {
   contact1.setImageBitmap(contactPhoto);
   contact2.setImageBitmap(contactPhoto);
   contact3.setImageBitmap(contactPhoto);
}

I made a contact with my phone number and image but it never loads up in the app. What should he be looking for in the code i posted above in order to make sure it is grabbing the correct phone number?

Do you have to use Contacts instead of ContactsContract? Contacts was deprecated in API level 5.

If you're trying to load a photo for a phone number, use ContactsContract.PhoneLookup. There's an example in the reference doc for android.provider.ContactsContract.PhoneLookup. Querying on that table will return LOOKUP_KEY for the Contact. Use that to query ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.

So you mean that i would send the name of the contact to that and then it would know what image it has for that contact? – StealthRT Dec 18 '12 at 21:48

Turned out the number was formatted incorrectly. It was looking for xxxxxxxxxx and the number was this way (xxx)xxx-xxxx in the phone so it never matched up.
