Android: how to get own profile picture like in native Messaging app

Question

I'm writing an application for SMS messaging and I want to show profile picture of all senders (it is not a problem) and picture of my profile for sent messages. The same implementation was done in native Messaging app. Could you please advice how I can get own profile picture?

I found a solution for my question:

public static Bitmap getProfilePhoto(Context context) {
        Bitmap profilePhoto = null;
        ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
        InputStream input = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(cr, ContactsContract.Profile.CONTENT_URI);
        if (input != null) {
            profilePhoto = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
        } else {
            profilePhoto = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.ic_contact_picture);
        }

        return profilePhoto;
    }

Works, i recomen use "true" in openContactPhoto for high res ;) InputStream input = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(cr, ContactsContract.Profile.CONTENT_URI,true); — Javier, Aug 16 '13 at 23:24

Read up here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Profile.html and then look into CursorLoader's and cursors, write one to query for the photo uri or photo thumbnail uri.

Update

I found similar questions that should help you
