Retrieve profile picture using Facebook SDK 3.0 for Android

android, facebook, facebook-android-sdk, facebook-graph-api

Solution

An easier way would be to execute a `GET` request to `graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/picture` so you don't have to first request an URL to the picture, and then execute another `GET` request to download the picture from the given URL.

Instead of using `Request.executeGraphPathRequestAsync`, just do a normal `GET` request to the URL above, e.g. `http://graph.facebook.com/4/picture`.

Problem

I've following problem with Facebook SDK 3.0 for Android. I wanna get my (and my friends) profile picture without using their ProfilePictureView widget, so if I use Graph Explorer I see that Json response is: ``` { "data": { "url": "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-ash4/372127_1377011138_1538716206_q.jpg", "is_silhouette": false } } ``` I need that "url" path to download and show the picture, but with the following code: ``` Request.executeGraphPathRequestAsync(Session.getActiveSession(), "me/picture", new Request.Callback() { @Override public void onCompleted(Response response) { GraphObject go = response.getGraphObject(); Log.i("APP_NAME", go.toString()); } }); ``` I obtain this: ``` GraphObject{graphObjectClass=GraphObject, state={"FACEBOOK_NON_JSON_RESULT":"����\u0000\u0010JFIF\u0000\u0001\u0001\u0000\u0000\u0001\u0000\u0001\u0000\u0000��\u0000"}} ``` Someone can help me please? Thanks Cromir
