Getting a Photo from a Contact

Question

Alright, I'm just trying to learn about using Contact information, but I'm a bit stuck. I would like to be able to display a picture for the contact. Using the following code that I have, how would I be able to put the photo for the contact in the ImageView in contact_entry?

ListView contacts_list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.contacts_list);  // Gets the URI of the db Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI; // What to grab from the db String[] projection = new String[] {         ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,         ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,         ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID };  String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";  Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, sortOrder);  String[] fields = new String[] {         ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME };  int[] values = {          R.id.contactEntryText };  SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.contact_entry, cursor,         fields, values); contacts_list.setAdapter(adapter); 

contact_entry.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="54px">     <ImageView         android:id="@+id/contactPhoto"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"          android:src="@drawable/ic_contact_picture_3"/>     <TextView          android:text="@+id/contactEntryText"         android:id="@+id/contactEntryText"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> </LinearLayout>

Probably this will help you(contact is identified by getId()):

/**  * @return the photo URI  */ public Uri getPhotoUri() {     try {         Cursor cur = this.ctx.getContentResolver().query(                 ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,                 null,                 ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + "=" + this.getId() + " AND "                         + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "='"                         + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'", null,                 null);         if (cur != null) {             if (!cur.moveToFirst()) {                 return null; // no photo             }         } else {             return null; // error in cursor process         }     } catch (Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();         return null;     }     Uri person = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, Long             .parseLong(getId()));     return Uri.withAppendedPath(person, ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY); } 

Usage is:

Uri u = objItem.getPhotoUri(); if (u != null) {         mPhotoView.setImageURI(u); } else {         mPhotoView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_contact_picture_2); }

Android documentation says, that we should do it in this way.

public Bitmap openPhoto(long contactId) {         Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);         Uri photoUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri, ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);         Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(photoUri,                 new String[] {ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.PHOTO}, null, null, null);         if (cursor == null) {             return null;         }         try {             if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {                 byte[] data = cursor.getBlob(0);                 if (data != null) {                     return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(data));                 }             }         } finally {             cursor.close();         }         return null;  } 

For contactId you can use:

 public static long getContactIDFromNumber(String contactNumber, Context context) {     String UriContactNumber = Uri.encode(contactNumber);     long phoneContactID = new Random().nextInt();     Cursor contactLookupCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, UriContactNumber),             new String[]{ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID}, null, null, null);     while (contactLookupCursor.moveToNext()) {         phoneContactID = contactLookupCursor.getLong(contactLookupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID));     }     contactLookupCursor.close();      return phoneContactID; }
