Opencontactphotoinputstream Causes “java.lang.illegalstateexception: Get Field Slot From Row 0 Col 0 Failed”

Background I'm trying to check if a contact image exists for a specific contact (and later to actually get it, much later). the query should be as minimal as possible and avoid un-

Solution 1:

How about something like this for checking if a photo exists (untested):

ContentResolvercr= mContext.getContentResolver();
if (bigPicture && VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
    UridisplayPhotoUri= Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.DISPLAY_PHOTO);
    AssetFileDescriptorfd=null;
    try {
        fd = cr.openAssetFileDescriptor(displayPhotoUri, "r");
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
    if (fd != null) {
        try {
            fd.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        returntrue;
    }
}

UriphotoUri= Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri,
        ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursorcursor= cr.query(photoUri, newString[] {BaseColumns._ID},
        ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.PHOTO + " IS NOT NULL", null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
    returnfalse;
}
try {
    return cursor.moveToFirst();
} finally {
    cursor.close();
}

And here is a modified version of the openContactPhotoInputStream() method, which should potentially be able to load a photo thumbnail with a size close to 1 MB without issues (again not tested):

publicstatic InputStream openContactPhotoInputStream(ContentResolver cr, Uri contactUri,
        boolean preferHighres) {
    if (preferHighres && VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
        UridisplayPhotoUri= Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri,
                ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.DISPLAY_PHOTO);
        try {
            return cr.openAssetFileDescriptor(displayPhotoUri, "r").createInputStream();
        } catch (IOException e) {}
    }
    UriphotoUri= Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
    try {
        return cr.openAssetFileDescriptor(displayPhotoUri, "r").createInputStream();
    } catch (IOException e) {}
    returnnull;
}

This should cause the ContactsProvider to read the thumbnail BLOB to shared memory, and send an AssetFileDescriptor pointing to it, from which we can directly open an InputStream.
