Contactscontract.directory - How Do I Return A Photo?

I am trying to figure out why I can't seem to pass a photo Uri (Uri.parse(http://url/image.png)) to the contacts app via ContactsContract.Directory I have a web service which allow

Solution 1:

I think I have found the answer.. Looks like the exception was being logged in Verbose (had my logcat set at Debug). Anyway, was pretty sure about this, but looks like there is no Provider for http uri. Off to create a content provider, just not sure how I will return an image from a content provider, but will figure it out. Any hints/tips would be appreciated and given answer credit.
