How to get Facebook profile image in Android

Question

I am using Facebook sdk 4.4.0 in android and I want to get current profile picture of the user using graph request. How to do that?

I have seen that people use

https://graph.facebook.com/me/picture?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

API to extract profile picture but I cant figure how to extract profile picture from it.

For getting picture from `GraphRequest` there can be certain params you can pass. All Documented on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/picture/. — ADM, Jul 24 '18 at 03:55

You need to call GraphRequest API for getting all the details of user in which API also gives URL of current profile picture.

Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("fields", "id,email,gender,cover,picture.type(large)");
new GraphRequest(AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(), "me", params, HttpMethod.GET,
        new GraphRequest.Callback() {
            @Override
            public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
                if (response != null) {
                    try {
                        JSONObject data = response.getJSONObject();
                        if (data.has("picture")) {
                            String profilePicUrl = data.getJSONObject("picture").getJSONObject("data").getString("url");
                            Bitmap profilePic= BitmapFactory.decodeStream(profilePicUrl .openConnection().getInputStream());
                            mImageView.setBitmap(profilePic);
                        }
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
}).executeAsync();

This throws errors for me because decodeStream is looking for a URL instead of a string - Am I doing something wrong? – ntgCleaner Feb 11 '16 at 22:04
have you try BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openConnection().getInputStream()); ?? – Rajesh Jadav Feb 12 '16 at 03:53

I have used your exact text there, placed the `getFacebookProfilePicture()` outside of onCreate and It's showing `.openConnection()` as not resolved. Not sure what I'm doing wrong – ntgCleaner Feb 12 '16 at 14:26
@ntgCleaner i have updated code please use updated getFacebookProfilePicture method – Rajesh Jadav Feb 12 '16 at 14:41

Beautiful! It works perfectly now. Instead of `token`, I used `AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken()` (as per facebook API). It works great! Thank you for updating an older answer! – ntgCleaner Feb 12 '16 at 14:51

Wow! Thank you, FabCoder! For these few words "picture.type(large)". I cannot find this opportunity in the facebook's documentation, but I knew that this is exists! Thank you! – Sirelon Apr 19 '16 at 11:45
Error at .openConnection() is remove by converting String (profilePicUrl) into URL. – shehzy Sep 21 '17 at 07:00

From last sdk 4.5.0

 String url;
 Bundle parametersPicture = new Bundle();
 parametersPicture.putString("fields", "picture.width(150).height(150)");

 GraphResponse lResponsePicture = new GraphRequest(AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(), "/me/",
                        parametersPicture, null).executeAndWait();
 if (lResponsePicture != null && lResponsePicture.getError() == null &&
                            lResponsePicture.getJSONObject() != null) {
     url = lResponsePicture.getJSONObject().getJSONObject("picture")
                                .getJSONObject("data").getString("url");
 }

You can have this in 2 different way.

Way1: Integrate graph api support https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/picture/

Way2: Via Get Call http:// graph.facebook.com/{facebook-Id}/picture?width=x&height=y

where x and y could be any integer e.g. 100

If you want really big picture you would have to spec. at least one size of picture - for ex.

String profileImg = "https://graph.facebook.com/" + loginResult.getAccessToken().getUserId() + "/picture?type=large&width=1080";

Also, you can specify both sizes (add &height=some_val), but then facebook will crop this profile image.

Simply call this URL:

graph.facebook.com/<facebook_user_id>/picture?type=large

type can be large, normal or small.

Another way is to use ProfilePictureView

<com.facebook.login.widget.ProfilePictureView
    android:id="@+id/image"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    facebook:preset_size="small"/>

After that you can set facebook id like this in code

profilePictureView.setProfileId(facebookUserId);

thanks this works. Can you tell me how to use this link with graph request api? a small code snippet — anupam x, Aug 31 '15 at 12:22
