Hero contact photos facebook

Is it possible to retrieve the Hero's contact phots that are connected to facebook?
With the android sdk and the function loadContactPhoto i only get the manually added photos ...
Where the facebook contact photos stored?
Is there any API in the Hero rom?
I hope anybody can help me...

yes that's possible.
Use the app "Facebook Sync" and it will do the rest

Thanks, but i need a program code not an app!
I want to read the already stored facebook photos (Hero do this) into my programmed app.
With the standard SDK from android i dont get the photos..

HTC overrides the normal contact photo with the facebook one, try to look at the contact database probably you find something

Thank you i will look into the contacts database.
But curious why the loadContactPhoto only gets the manually added..
In case that HTC overrides the normal contact photo with the facebook photo, loadContactPhoto should get also the facebook photo...

loadContactPhoto will grab what *android* has set as the contact's photo. However, the facebook integration is an HTC addition, so there is no android API to grab it. An illustration of this: A contact in my phone has a facebook pic associated with it. I look at that same contact in my GMail's GTalk list, and it shows the manually set pic. So the HTC People app chooses its own pic from either Facebook or the Google Contact pic.
This may change in Eclair, as android 2.0 will have facebook integration included. HTC may have gone with the android API over their own, I'm not sure.

Thanks, i know, but i have seen other apps that are display the facebook photo on the HTC Hero on there app. For example Handcent SMS...
So there must be a way to grab this HTC facebook photo...

Does nobody knows how to get the HTC Hero Facebook photos?

I personally don't know. Try contacting the dev for ChompSMS or Handcent. I know those two pull the facebook pics.

Thanks i already had send an email, but until now no response...

The official Facebook app syncs photos.

syncmypix
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&feature=search_result

I use both the official Facebook app (to get the contact details synced) and SyncMyPix (to sync contact pictures)

facebook app works fine for syncing

[Q] HD Contact Pics syncing in JB

Can I please get a definite statement, if HD Contact Pics are syncing back to Google Contacts in JB?
I searched far and wide, but there are conflicting reports. It should be in there, as mentioned on those Google I/O slides, that now 720x720 are possible. But does it work also in a way that those are stored also in Google Contacts? Coz before I always had the problem, when flashing a new ROM and restoring my contacts from Google Contacts afterwards, that the pics come back pixelated.
I'm not interested in an on-phone solution, like those that are available in the market. Just wanna know, if this year-long problem is finally fixed in Android. Thanks!

Nope, not from Gmail contact pictures.
If the person has a G+ account then it'll be higher res, but gmail contact picture sync still sucks.

will google ever fix this crap? people have been complaining since 2008

This is what I'm seeing too.
But I'm seeing that once I add a picture while on JB, the photo is high res.

The new high res congtact pictures are useful only with contacts who habe google+ , the rest of the contatcs looks like crap, im gonna ask some friends to change their gmail picture now to see if from the moment of the announcement the new pictures are stored in good quality

It seems to be working for me if you add the pictures to the contacts ON YOUR PHONE (i.e. in Contacts in Jelly Bean) instead of through Gmail on the web. If I attached pictures through Gmail on the web, the pictures were resized.
JellyBean is still not officially released yet, so we shouldn't be surprised that not everything is "perfect" yet.

[Q] Problem with contact picutres and joined contacts

I am noticing with several of my joined contacts that I am not seeing a contact photo. They have photos through facebook but not through my other links such as Google or other programs that I have them listed as contacts. Does anyone know a way of forcing it to use the contact picture from Facebook or making that the default? In my SG3 before the JB update I was able to click on the photo and use it for the contact but that does not appear to be an option in JB.

I use Facebook contact sync from the market and it works fine

I know on the note one you had to edit the contact and choose what pic to use.

oh yes, please edit from google contacts because i've had a hell of a time with contacts back then when i try to delete contacts in my phone, and when i sync, google actually remove some of the contacts i wanted to keep because its not in my google account.
what worked for me, and i find it the fastest, is to use an app to merge/remove most of my contacts, login to my google account and delete everyone there, then turn sync on for my phone. Google contacts will now be exactly the same as your phone's ! Though from my experience, no app out there can properly merge contacts for you. Take the time to check every contact yourself. If you are going down the path of android, you will only need to do this once and your contact should be pretty much synced for the rest of your life xD

After deleting google contacts, Don't forget to configure the Sync App that you use to sync from PC to Android, if not you will delete all contacts in your PC.
