Android : How to get larger profile pic from Facebook using FirebaseAuth?

Question

I am using FirebaseAuth to login user through FB. Here is the code:

private FirebaseAuth mAuth; private FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener mAuthListener; private CallbackManager mCallbackManager;  @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);     FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());      // Initialize Firebase Auth     mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();      mAuthListener = firebaseAuth -> {         FirebaseUser user = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser();         if (user != null) {             // User is signed in             Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_in:" + user.getUid());         } else {             // User is signed out             Log.d(TAG, "onAuthStateChanged:signed_out");         }          if (user != null) {             Log.d(TAG, "User details : " + user.getDisplayName() + user.getEmail() + "\n" + user.getPhotoUrl() + "\n"                     + user.getUid() + "\n" + user.getToken(true) + "\n" + user.getProviderId());         }     }; } 

The issue is that the photo in I get from using user.getPhotoUrl() is very small. I need a larger image and can't find a way to do that. Any help would be highly appreciated. I have already tried this Get larger facebook image through firebase login but it's not working although they are for swift I don't think the API should differ.

It is not possible to obtain a profile picture from Firebase that is larger than the one provided by getPhotoUrl(). However, the Facebook graph makes it pretty simple to get a user's profile picture in any size you want, as long as you have the user's Facebook ID.

String facebookUserId = ""; FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser(); ImageView profilePicture = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_profile_picture);  // find the Facebook profile and get the user's id for(UserInfo profile : user.getProviderData()) {     // check if the provider id matches "facebook.com"         if(FacebookAuthProvider.PROVIDER_ID.equals(profile.getProviderId())) {         facebookUserId = profile.getUid();     } }  // construct the URL to the profile picture, with a custom height // alternatively, use '?type=small|medium|large' instead of ?height= String photoUrl = "https://graph.facebook.com/" + facebookUserId + "/picture?height=500";  // (optional) use Picasso to download and show to image Picasso.with(this).load(photoUrl).into(profilePicture);
