Facebook Image not Loading in Android

I'm loading Facebook images in my Android app, and it worked perfectly until this morning when I started getting: 

SkImageDecoder::Factory returned null

indicating that the image was not available. I checked it with an image from another url, and the code still works, so I figured Facebook must be having some trouble… does anyone know about this?

Here's the code I use: 

URL img_value = null;
img_value = new URL("http://graph.facebook.com/" + userId + "/picture?type=" + type);
retval = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new BufferedInputStream(img_value.openConnection().getInputStream()));

I had the same problem and found a solution here:

The same happened with my Android application.

I'm not sure because I cannot recall what was before but now this HTTP request is being redirected to HTTPS.

And Android HttpURLConnection does support up to five redirects but not when there is HTTP <-> HTTPS change, I guess.

You could try to change http into https. There is still a chance that FB will change this in the future again.

Notice that they redirect you with 302 to other url. It seems like your code doesn't handle that.

Maybe this will help: Httpclient redirect handler
