    <p>In my app I have a ListView of contacts with basic information (name, phone number) as well as the contact image, very similar to the default Android contact picker. If the contact has no image, it displays the app icon in its place. However, I would like to use the default silhouette image that the contact picker uses instead. My question is how can I access this image and use it in my app? Here is the section of my code that loads the contact image:</p> <pre><code>Contact c = new Contact(); final String[] projection = new String[] { Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, // the name of the contact Contacts.PHOTO_ID // the ID of the column in the data table for the image }; final Cursor contact = getContentResolver().query( Contacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, Contacts._ID + "=?", // filter entries on the basis of the contact id new String[] {String.valueOf(contactId)}, // the parameter which the contact id column is compared to null ); if(contact.moveToFirst()) { final String name = contact.getString( contact.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); final String photoId = contact.getString( contact.getColumnIndex(Contacts.PHOTO_ID)); // Get photo data for this contact if(photoId != null) { final Cursor photo = managedQuery( Data.CONTENT_URI, new String[] {Photo.PHOTO}, // column for the photo blob Data._ID + "=?", // select row by id new String[] {photoId}, // filter by photoId null ); // Convert photo blob to a bitmap if(photo.moveToFirst()) { byte[] photoBlob = photo.getBlob( photo.getColumnIndex(Photo.PHOTO)); final Bitmap photoBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(photoBlob, 0, photoBlob.length); c.setPhoto(photoBitmap); } } c.setName(name); </code></pre> <p>Here is the code in my ContactAdapter class which associates the ImageView with the contacts photo:</p> <pre><code>ImageView photo = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.contact_photo); if(photo != null) { if(c.hasPhoto()) photo.setImageBitmap(c.getPhoto()); else photo.setImageResource(R.drawable.app_icon); } </code></pre>

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.
