Read google profile picture java.io.FileNotFoundException

Question

I try to read the google user's profile picture after login, however I encounter an input stream opening error. I don't want to use Glide or Picasso libraries. My code is quite standard:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    // Result returned from launching the Intent from GoogleSignInClient.getSignInIntent(...);
    if (requestCode == RC_SIGN_IN) {
        // The Task returned from this call is always completed, no need to attach
        // a listener.
        Task<GoogleSignInAccount> completedTask = GoogleSignIn.getSignedInAccountFromIntent(data);
            try {
                final GoogleSignInAccount account = completedTask.getResult(ApiException.class);

                String email = account.getEmail();
                String deviceID = Settings.Secure.getString(LoginActivity.this.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
                Uri personPhotoURL = Uri.parse(account.getPhotoUrl().toString());

                try {
                    ContentResolver resolver = getBaseContext().getContentResolver();
                    InputStream imageStream = resolver.openInputStream(personPhotoURL);
                    Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
                    String encodedImage = encodeImage(selectedImage);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

The Uri shows the right Url (it loads the picture when inserted into the browser), but imageStream opening throws "java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/AAuE.....".

How can I solve this problem?

The URL is an https URL, like the one for this Web page. ContentResolver does not handle those.

Use an image-loading library, such as Glide or Picasso, to load the image from the URL. Or, use OkHttp to perform the Web request.
