Android :: Contacts Photos Does Not Work After Insert / What To Do?
Aug 21, 2009
I'm writing a small backup application for contacts and i encountering some weird problems. Firs of all I retrieve data through the content resolver code...
} Such operation done for each ContentProvider I retrieved data at backup. I'm not backuping Contacts.Photos, because I don't want to do that. But next, strange thing happening, when i try to attach photo to a contact in Contacts application. First of I select a contact i wish to modify. Then clicking to add icon. Selecting photo, cropping it. And it appears near the contact name in contact editing activity. But after I click "Done" and android says that changes were successfully changed, icon just disappears like i never added it to a contact. And nothing helps after this restore, I tried rebooting my phone, deleting all contacts, deleting all contacts programaticatlly and all this doesn't helps. The only thing that helps is factory data reset. This problem both happens on emulator and on g1 phone. Later i had an idea so I've taken contacts.db file from fresh emulator, where photos feature were still working and saved it. Then i performed backup- restore operations. And compared the databases. They were identical. And still photos weren't inserting anymore. And this problem also happens whether I had any photos added to contacts before backup or all contacts were without photos. So I'm kinda desperate now, because I don't know what to do.

I'm trying to develop an application on Android 2.1 emulator, My application connects in background to a remote server through an HTTPConnection with REST Protocol, and gets updates in JSON format. A Digest parses these JSONObject and then fills its local Databases with the new datas. The Server can also send to the mobile application a list of new contacts to add in the system PhoneBook. Here's my question: how can I make a new contact from a bunch of datas and insert it in the system PhoneBook in Android 2.1, without any interaction with the user? Moreover, how can I get these datas back when I need it? I have tried to do it like the ContactAdder in the ContactManager sample(http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ContactManager/ index.html) does, but it works only if I specify an account for the sync function, and I don't need this feature in my application, so I don't have any account to select! Is there a way to do the same things the ContactAdder does without specifying an account (something like creating "Phone-only (unsynced) contacts")?

I was just wondering if anyone knows how to add photos for your contacts so they show up beside the bubble in Handecent SMS. I tried going into my contacts and adding a pic there, but it doesn't pick up in the APP. If I touch the box where a picture should be it just says "Call?" Is there any way to do this?

I'd like to delete all the photos on my phone to make the space available, but NOT my contacts. Formatting the disk will delete everything won't it? So what should I do?

The standard way of getting contact photos/uris from ContactsContracts.Contacts.CONTENT_URI does not work for any photo that is not of GOOGLE descent! meaning, if the contact does not have a Google contact with a photo, then I cannot pull a contact photo.This is not only my problem. I see that no one has really answered this question.I know that the Android Incoming Call Screen displays a Facebook photo just fine, so I am not sure why I would need to do something different.Is there someone out there, from Google/Android, who can tell me what I need to do?

I'm happily retrieving contact photos with the new Contacts Contract APIs and cursor.getBlob, but I'm having great trouble working out how to set a contact photo.
I believe I have the right URI (at least, it works for retrieving the photo), but it just won't work for updating or adding one.
Here's my best bet:
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bytes);
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath( ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, friendId ); uri = Uri.withAppendedPath( uri, ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
// eg: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/6/photo
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO, bytes.toByteArray()); values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE );
context.getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);
And here's my exception:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unknown uri: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/6/photo at com.android.providers.contacts.LegacyApiSupport.update (LegacyApiSupport.java:914) at com.android.providers.contacts.ContactsProvider2.updateInTransaction (ContactsProvider2.java:2924) at com.android.providers.contacts.SQLiteContentProvider.update (SQLiteContentProvider.java:139) at com.android.providers.contacts.ContactsProvider2.update (ContactsProvider2.java:1923) at android.content.ContentProvider$Transport.update (ContentProvider.java:180) at android.content.ContentProviderNative.onTransact (ContentProviderNative.java:195) at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:287) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method).

I promise I searched. I also looked at the "Here are the similar threads we found:" suggestions.
Anyways. Just got a Moto Droid. Downloaded Handcent SMS. It's great. However the ONE thing I can't figure out, is why do SOME of my contacts have their Facebook pictures, and others don't? I have "synched" with Facebook multiple times. The contacts I have saved have the exact same names as their Facebook profiles, so it should pop up, right?

Okay so I've moved from Sense to launcherPro. Very happy with it, but I REALLY miss the FULL screen widgets that you get with sense.
I used to have the full screen Music App, the Photo App, Bookmarks, and Contacts taking up some of the sense screens. Now I have 3 blank screens in LP that I want to fill up.
Do you guys know of any full screen Apps/Widgets for Music, Photos, Bookmarks, and Contacts?

I tried setting photos for my contacts today, but it seems I can only add photos for my email contacts and not my sim card ones? It's only my contacts on my sim that I want to add photos to! Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a way I can do what I want to without adding everyone's email address?

Is there any way to change the incoming call screen for unknown numbers and contacts without photos? The little robot (foryo or whatever) is a cute logo.. but it looks like a waving dildo.. Often times I have to answer calls in front of customers, family and friends. It's a little embarrassing having to pull a noisy, illuminated, vibrating green dildo out of my pocket every time I get a phone call.

I just set up my Droid Eris to sync my contacts with their Facebook profile so that their photos would show up in my contacts. I synced them all and them matched up properly, but their pictures are not aligned properly. When I first did it, their faces were aligned and everything looked ok, except some pictures were pretty pixelated. But after a few minutes, the pixelation went away and the quality of the pictures was better, except a lot of my contacts have their head not in the photo or just misaligned. More than half are off.I thought at first it was that they didn't set up their picture properly on Facebook, but I looked at their mini pictures (like the ones that show up in the news feed) and their faces were showing up properly. Even their mini pictures on the facebook app are correct. And these seem to be the same size as the pics in my contacts.Why is it that my contacts photos aren't aligned right on some of them and how can I fix this?

Out of about 900 contacts, only 30 are personal with photos. Is there an app or widget that would allow me to see contacts without a photo placeholder? One of the widgets I love is the favorites people widget, but I can't stand that it has photo placeholders. Of my 800+ business contacts, none have photos so I'm staring at a page of grey faceless dudes.

I spent a considerable time and effort attaching photos to all my 100+ contacts. These photos were crops from larger photos so, stupidly in hindsight, I did not preserve any of them. I would like to copy all my contacts, complete with photos, to another phone. Copying the simple contact info is easy via the Gmail export/import procedure, but that does not copy the attached photos. Is there a simple way of copying contacts complete with photos?

I have so far found two bugs in Galaxo 1.6.3:
a) Speaker doesn't work in call (very weak). works well in ringtones etc.
b) Scrolling contacts by letter doesn't work.
Other than that this is a leap forward, especially with the overclock options!
Both bugs, as well as others, fixed in 1.6.3.1 update!

I spent an hour linking all my mates to their facebook profiles partly so I could have pictures associated with them. However, I accidentally removed my facebook account which reset them all. As it had synced with Google already, I just resynced the links back to my phone, no problems.However, now all the photos have disappeared and short of unlinking and relinking anyone (which will take a long time...), is there a quicker way to refresh their photos?

I can't find out how to add photos to the contacts I have on my phone.I read in another post that I should go to Google mail and do it from there, but my contacts aren't synced with anything. I just want to access them on my phone, and see a photo when they call. I added everyone's details myself, but I can't believe there's no Add photo option (or non that I can find anyway!)

It would seem that when someone updates their profile pic in Facebook now, I lose their picture in my list of contacts.

I have a contact that is linked to a Google and a Facebook contact. Both have photos. If I open the contact, press the link and then press the drop-down that overlays over their image at the top-left, I can change the contact to use the Google picture - which I prefer.but the picture ALWAYS reverts to the Facebook one after a while. Why is this?I should note that the Google picture is not THEIR google picture in GTalk - it's one I uploaded for them.

After a system update a day ago, the contacts photos have disappeared. Anyone know why this happened, or how to get them back? I tried re-synchronizing my accounts, but the photos still dont show.
