    <p>Having scanned the many questions and answers to the problem of displaying a thumbnail I thought I would post my solution to this particular conundrum as I could only find a couple that worked at all and none that provided a good canned solution for the lazy developer. </p> <p>The class below takes a Context, QuickContactBadge and a telephone number and will attach a locally stored image to the badge if there is one available for the specified phone number.</p> <p>Here's the class:</p> <pre><code>public final class QuickContactHelper { private static final String[] PHOTO_ID_PROJECTION = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID }; private static final String[] PHOTO_BITMAP_PROJECTION = new String[] { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO }; private final QuickContactBadge badge; private final String phoneNumber; private final ContentResolver contentResolver; public QuickContactHelper(final Context context, final QuickContactBadge badge, final String phoneNumber) { this.badge = badge; this.phoneNumber = phoneNumber; contentResolver = context.getContentResolver(); } public void addThumbnail() { final Integer thumbnailId = fetchThumbnailId(); if (thumbnailId != null) { final Bitmap thumbnail = fetchThumbnail(thumbnailId); if (thumbnail != null) { badge.setImageBitmap(thumbnail); } } } private Integer fetchThumbnailId() { final Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber)); final Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, PHOTO_ID_PROJECTION, null, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC"); try { Integer thumbnailId = null; if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { thumbnailId = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID)); } return thumbnailId; } finally { cursor.close(); } } final Bitmap fetchThumbnail(final int thumbnailId) { final Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, thumbnailId); final Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, PHOTO_BITMAP_PROJECTION, null, null, null); try { Bitmap thumbnail = null; if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { final byte[] thumbnailBytes = cursor.getBlob(0); if (thumbnailBytes != null) { thumbnail = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(thumbnailBytes, 0, thumbnailBytes.length); } } return thumbnail; } finally { cursor.close(); } } } </code></pre> <p>And here's a typical use case inside an activity:</p> <pre><code>String phoneNumber = "..."; QuickContactBadge badge = (QuickContactBadge) view.findViewById(R.id.friend); new QuickContactHelper(this, badge, phoneNumber).addThumbnail(); </code></pre> <p>In a fragment it will be slightly different:</p> <pre><code>String phoneNumber = "..."; QuickContactBadge badge = (QuickContactBadge) view.findViewById(R.id.friend); new QuickContactHelper(getActivity(), badge, phoneNumber).addThumbnail(); </code></pre> <p>Now there are ways to be more efficient - for example if you are rendering a message timeline you'd want to re-use the same bitmap object for every badge instance for a given phone number instead of constantly creating new helper class instances and re-retrieving the bitmap - but my purpose here was to post a solution that is stripped down to the absolute minimum for clarity whilst at the same time providing a complete and usable solution out of the box. This solution has been built and tested on Andriod 4.0, and tested on 4.1 as well.</p>

    1. CO@DídacPérez the question was "Does anyone have an example of querying for a Contact, then loading the Photo" - that is exactly what my solution does. It queries by phone number and then loads the photo. You can see that from the example usage. The photo is loaded into the QuickContactBadge, it could be modified easily to load into another component like an image instead.

    2. CO@DídacPérez my answer looks somewhat odd now that you've removed your comment (which said I hadn't addressed the original question).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
