How to get Android Contact thumbnail

Question

I have a listview adapter and I'm trying the following in the newView method:

@Override
    public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {

        final LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        View v = inflater.inflate(layout, parent, false);

        long contactId = Long.valueOf(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID))); 
        String contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); 
        boolean hasPhone = Boolean.parseBoolean(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))); 
        String thumbnailUri = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI)); 

        TextView name_text = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.name_entry);
        if (name_text != null) {
            name_text.setText(contactName);
        }

        name_text.setTag(new Contact(contactId, hasPhone));

        ImageView thumbnail = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.thumbnail);
        if (thumbnailUri != null) {
            thumbnail.setImageURI(Uri.parse(thumbnailUri));
        } else {
            thumbnail.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
        }

        return v;
    }

But when I try to parse the Uri that is stored in thumbnailUri, I receive the following error:

   08-09 01:58:38.619: I/System.out(1471): resolveUri failed on bad bitmap uri: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/1/photo

Am I going about this the wrong way? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Probably will help someone. Just leave it here.
This way you can get thumbnail uri by contact id.
Tested on Android API 28.

    ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
    String[] projection = new String[] {ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI};
    String where = ContactsContract.Contacts.NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID = "?";
    String[] selectionArgs = {your_contact_id}
    Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, projection, where, selectionArgs, null);

    String thumbnailUri;
    if ((cur != null ? cur.getCount() : 0) > 0) {
        if (cur.moveToNext()) {
            thumbnailUri = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI));
        }
    }
    if(cur!=null){
        cur.close();
    }
    return thumbnailUri;
