How to get facebook profile picture of user in facebook SDK Android

Question

I used facebook 3.6 sdk . i want to get profile picture from graph user , last time i got image but now it returns null Bitmap.

I used following code

private void onSessionStateChange(Session session, SessionState state,
            Exception exception) {
        if (session.isOpened()) {
            Request.newMeRequest(session, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
                @Override
                public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
                    if (user != null) {
                        try {
                            URL imgUrl = new URL("http://graph.facebook.com/"
                                    + user.getId() + "/picture?type=large");

                            InputStream in = (InputStream) imgUrl.getContent();
                            Bitmap  bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
                            //Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imgUrl      // tried this also
                            //.openConnection().getInputStream());
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }).executeAsync();
        }
    }

When i use direct link then it works.

imgUrl = new URL("https://fbcdn-dragon-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t39.2365-6/851558_160351450817973_1678868765_n.png");

i refered this also Graph API Reference

Answer 1

Auto redirection works automatically when original and redirected protocols are same.

So, try to load images from https instead of http : "https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/picture"; since image's url is "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/...."

Then BitmapFactory.decodeStream shall work again.
