Android: Contact photo is pixelated while trying to set into an ImageView

Question

Am trying to fetch phone contacts image and set into an ImageView . Am getting the image, but when I try to set the image into an ImageView it is pixelated.

The code for fetching the image

    String select = "(" + ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " == \"" + name + "\" )";
        Cursor c = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, CONTACTS_SUMMARY_PROJECTION, select, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC");
        startManagingCursor(c);

        if (c.moveToNext()) {
             idValue = c.getString(0);
        InputStream inputStream = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(),
                            ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, new Long(idValue)));

  if (inputStream != null) {
      photo = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
      contact_image.setImageBitmap(photo);
     }
   } 

I want to show the details of contacts , Because of that i try fetch the Contact ID by name.

Layout.xml

<ImageView
            android:id="@+id/contact_image"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop"
            android:src="@drawable/un_known_avtar" />

I try almost all scale type by xml. But still the contact image is stretchered.

Can any one please help to avoid the stretching of Contact Image

Answer 1

try adding true boolean at end of openContactPhotoInputStream for high resolution (NEEDS API LEVEL 14 OR HIGHER)

InputStream inputStream = ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(),
ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, new Long(idValue)), true);
