ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo

Kotlin |Java

public static final class ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo
extends Object implements BaseColumns, ContactsContract.DataColumnsWithJoins

java.lang.Object
↳	android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo

A read-only sub-directory of a single contact that contains the contact's primary photo. The photo may be stored in up to two ways - the default "photo" is a thumbnail-sized image stored directly in the data row, while the "display photo", if present, is a larger version stored as a file.

Usage example:

Retrieving the thumbnail-sized photo

 public InputStream openPhoto(long contactId) {
     Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
     Uri photoUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri, Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
     Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(photoUri,
          new String[] {Contacts.Photo.PHOTO}, null, null, null);
     if (cursor == null) {
         return null;
     }
     try {
         if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
             byte[] data = cursor.getBlob(0);
             if (data != null) {
                 return new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
             }
         }
     } finally {
         cursor.close();
     }
     return null;
 }

Retrieving the larger photo version

 public InputStream openDisplayPhoto(long contactId) {
     Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
     Uri displayPhotoUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri, Contacts.Photo.DISPLAY_PHOTO);
     try {
         AssetFileDescriptor fd =
             getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(displayPhotoUri, "r");
         return fd.createInputStream();
     } catch (IOException e) {
         return null;
     }
 }

You may also consider using the convenience method ContactsContract.Contacts.openContactPhotoInputStream(ContentResolver, Uri, boolean) to retrieve the raw photo contents of either the thumbnail-sized or the full-sized photo.

This directory can be used either with a ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI or ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI.
