Checked with stackoverflow site as well. apparently, there is not way, currently, to qury a row in which you have both, ID, DISPLAY_NAME and PICTURE_URI. It wont help anyway since i wanted to use it for the adapter, and if the image uri points to null or is null itself i'll get an exception, so i have to other override bindView or newView().
