ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo

---

Kotlin |Java

public static final class ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo
extends Object implements ContactsContract.DataColumnsWithJoins

java.lang.Object
↳	android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo

---

A data kind representing a photo for the contact.

Some sync adapters will choose to download photos in a separate pass. A common pattern is to use columns ContactsContract.Data.SYNC1 through ContactsContract.Data.SYNC4 to store temporary data, e.g. the image URL or ID, state of download, server-side version of the image. It is allowed for the PHOTO to be null.

You can use all columns defined for ContactsContract.Data as well as the following aliases.

Column aliases

Type	Alias	Data column
NUMBER	PHOTO_FILE_ID	ContactsContract.DataColumns.DATA14	ID of the hi-res photo file.
BLOB	PHOTO	ContactsContract.DataColumns.DATA15	By convention, binary data is stored in DATA15. The thumbnail of the photo is stored in this column.
