Displaying Google Plus user profile picture in Android app
android, google-plus
Solution
You need to use that URL to grab the photo as a bitmap and set it to an imageview.
Section 4.9 of this article explains how to make an asynctask that will do just that:

Problem
Am trying to display the profile picture of users logged into my app through Google+ but am not sure how to do this.To get the image (and other information), google provides the code ``` @Override public void onConnected() { ... if (mPlusClient.getCurrentPerson() != null) { Person currentPerson = mPlusClient.getCurrentPerson(); String personName = currentPerson.getDisplayName(); String personPhoto = currentPerson.getImage(); String personGooglePlusProfile = currentPerson.getUrl(); } } ``` I am aware that ordinarily i would need to get any image i want to display from `res/drawable...` but i don't know what to do with the value of `personPhoto` (which somehow get's changed from type `String` to `Image` when you paste the code in Eclipse.
