Unable to download an image in android


I need to download twitter profile picture of mine and show it in an imageview on click of a button. Here is my code to download the profile picture of desired user.

public static InputStream getTwitterProfilePictureOfUser(String twitterId){
    try {
        return new DefaultHttpClient().execute(new HttpGet("http://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image?user_id="+twitterId+"&size=bigger")).getEntity().getContent();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    } 
} 

Getting the following exceptions. Where i'am going wrong ?

Solution

  • You are attempting to connect to an HTTPS URL via and the SSL certificate provided by the site is not trusted by the devise you are running the code on. I suggest you read this question on setting up trust in the Apache HTTP Client
