Finally, I solved it.
The problem was that I tried to retrieve direct the contact's image. I
had to request for contacts at first and then request for the
contact's image.
Here are the piece of code I implemented. It worked properly:
[code]
//Expression of intent
Intent i = new Intent (Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
i.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
[/code]
and then in the onActivityResult()
[code]
Uri uri = data.getData();
if (uri != null)
{
Cursor c = null;
try
{
//Retrieve contacts
c = getContentResolver().query(uri, new
String[] { BaseColumns._ID },
null, null, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst())
{
int id = c.getInt(0);
//Now get contact's photo
//..
//int id =
c.getColumnIndex(BaseColumns._ID);
InputStream is = openPhoto(id);
if (is != null)
{
Bitmap photo =
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
imageview.setImageBitmap(photo);
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(PickupContactInfo.this, "No photo
available!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
is.close();
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
if (c != null)
{
c.close();
}
}
}
[/code]
where openPhoto()
[code]
public InputStream openPhoto(long contactId) {
Uri contactUri =
ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
Uri photoUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri,
Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(photoUri,
new String[]
{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO}, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
return null;
}
try {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
byte[] data = cursor.getBlob(0);
if (data != null) {
return new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
}
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}
return null;
}
[/code]
