You should change your code following:

URL image_value = new URL("http://graph.facebook.com/"+id+"/picture" );

Possible GET parameters for the URL can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/picture/

Use https:// instead of http:// i faced the same problem.

URL image_value = new URL("https://graph.facebook.com/"+id+"/picture" );
profPict = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(image_value.openConnection().getInputStream());

If you are trying to display profile pic in your app, use ProfilePictureView from Facebook SDK.

Refer This

Just call setProfileId(String profileId) on it.

It will take care of displaying the image.

Is it solving the problem? – Vishal Pawale May 12 '13 at 22:09
is it loaded async-lly? – Elad Benda Feb 01 '14 at 17:05
Yes, it loads images async-ly :) – Vishal Pawale Feb 01 '14 at 19:10
is there a way to use this with the app - scope id i get for the users friends? – Ziv Kesten Jun 09 '14 at 12:17
@ZivKesten by scope id, do you mean profile id, if yes then you just have to call 'setProfileId()' method, with that profile id. – Vishal Pawale Jun 09 '14 at 12:50
the scope id is what i get for my user's facebook friends in the new facebook sdk, it is uniq per user but it is not the actual facebook id, there is no way that i know of to get the facebook id for my friends in the new sdk – Ziv Kesten Jun 09 '14 at 17:08
In the new sdk, setProfileId is not working it is not loading an image showing default avatar. If anyone has idea let me know – Fazal Hussain Oct 23 '19 at 11:42

String id = user.getId();
try {
  URL url = new URL("http://graph.facebook.com/"+ id+ "/picture?type=large");
  String image_path = uri.toString();
  System.out.println("image::> " + image_path);
}
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

You can do something like this inside a thread:

String url = "http://graph.facebook.com/"+id+"/picture";
HttpConnection conn = new HttpConnection(url);
conn.openConnection();

Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream()), "image");

conn.close();

I hope it help you.

try this..

 try {
        imageURL = new URL("https://graph.facebook.com/" +
                                                id+ "/picture?type=large");
        Log.e("URL", imageURL.toString());
        } catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e1.printStackTrace();
             try {
                    bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageURL
                                .openConnection().getInputStream());
                } catch (IOException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }

      ProfileDp.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

Once your facebook account is logged into the application, simply do:

String url = Profile.getCurrentProfile().getProfilePictureUri(x, y).toString();

x and y are width and height.

See the doc : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/android/current/class/Profile/
