After scouring the web and confirming it myself, Facebook's photos are stored in a manner that prevents access by other apps. This inability to access Facebook sync'd photos is a side effect of how Facebook syncs contacts.
Facebook creates an account on the device using Android's AccountManager (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/ accounts/AccountManager.html) which creates a secure space in which an app can store sync'd contact information. Using AccountManager to create accounts for storing contact information is the Android recommended way to sync contact information. Short of it then? Facebook's uses the standard Account/Contact syncing functions built into Android....and these functions prevent us from getting those photos. Makes sense from a security and permissions perspective. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
