Displaying a contacts picture in imageview.

Question

I use the following to query the image of a contact:

Uri phUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,String.valueOf(contactId));

As a result I get something like:

content://com.android.contacts/contacts/3699

Then I try to set it to an image view:

Uri IMAGE_URI = Uri.parse(image);
                IMAGE_URI= Uri.withAppendedPath(IMAGE_URI, Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
                try{
                    ((ImageView) view.getTag(R.id.imageView1)).setImageURI(IMAGE_URI);

                }catch (Exception e){
                    System.out.println(e);
                }

It raises an exception of file not found, however the System.out.println() in the catch block prints a bad bitmap uri. The above code was working properly some days ago, wonder whats going wrong.

The Log cat: (Check the first and the last line)

`Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY` has been deprecated since API level 5, not seeing why you'r'e using it then. Check out `openContactPhotoInputStream` here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Contacts.html and perhaps decode image before you set it to imageView with BitmapFactory.decodeStream of the inputstream you receive above — Magnus, Jan 14 '14 at 22:00
The IDE does not give me a depreciation warning, so I was not aware. However I seem to have found the problem. I isolated the problem code and indeed the return values are different I am somehow getting a trimmed result in the problem project. Now I am trying to gauge why it is so. — Skynet, Jan 15 '14 at 03:05

The Uri that you have is not the exact file , Using that id you should retrieve the image using managedQuery

The idea will be like this

private void setContactInfo(long id){
Bitmap photoBitmap = null;
Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(
        ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, id);

Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contactUri, null, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
contact_text.setText(cursor.getString(cursor
        .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)));//contact.text is a     textView used to displays the contact name

String id = getIntent().getData().getLastPathSegment();
// Photo cursor

String photoWhere = ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + " = ? AND "
        + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " = ?";
String[] photoWhereParams = new String[] { id,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE };
Cursor photoCur = managedQuery(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null,
        photoWhere, photoWhereParams, null);
photoCur.moveToFirst();
if (photoCur.moveToFirst() && photoCur != null) {

    byte[] photoBlob = photoCur.getBlob(photoCur
            .getColumnIndex(Photo.PHOTO));
    if (photoBlob != null) {
        photoBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(photoBlob, 0,
                photoBlob.length);

        contact_image.setImageBitmap(photoBitmap);//contact_image is an ImageView
    } else {
        photoBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
                 android.R.drawable.ic_menu_report_image);//android.R.drawable.ic_menu_report_image is the default image if a Contact doesn't have any image stored
        contact_image.setImageBitmap(photoBitmap);
    }

}
cursor.close;
photoCur.close;         

}

That amazes me somehow, as the code was working some time ago! — Skynet, Jan 14 '14 at 04:18
I dont tried this ,But i had worked with similar id and media query to retrieve images from gallery — Viswanath Lekshmanan, Jan 14 '14 at 04:23
Gives me a NPE at `String id = getIntent().getData().getLastPathSegment();` after resolving duplicate variable names. — Skynet, Jan 14 '14 at 04:29
instead of that getIntent use the intent that you get in onActivity Result — Viswanath Lekshmanan, Jan 14 '14 at 04:31
About `managedQuery`: This method was deprecated in API level 11. Use `CursorLoader` instead. — Magnus, Jan 14 '14 at 05:50
