How to get full-size profile picture of User?

[narenlog]

Hi
User.getPicture() returns a very small size version of the user's
profile picture.
-----
User user = facebookClient.fetchObject("me", User.class,
Parameter.with("fields", "id, name,
picture"));
-----

I want to get the full-size profile photo of a user. The below does
not work in code because Facebook is redirecting to another URL to
display the final image. I was thinking more along the lines of
mapping any JSON returned to "Photo" and then calling "getSource()" on
it so I can read it myself.
-----
Photo profilePhoto = facebookClient.fetchObject("me/picture",
Photo.class);
-----

So I wrote an FQL query. Anyone have a better idea?
-----
String query = "SELECT name,pic_big FROM user WHERE uid=12345";
List<User> users = facebookClient.executeQuery(query, User.class);

User.getPicture() is being removed in 1.6. The Graph API has changed
and constructing URLs manually (no need for RestFB) is the correct way
to do this going forward. See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api#pictures

For example:
http://graph.facebook.com/btaylor/picture?type=large

Thanks Mark!
For others who may stumble on the question, when you call this URL
directly, facebook redirects to the actual image location.
So I used HttpUrlConnection to "GET" the url, read the URL stream so
the redirect happens and then grabbed the actual image location post-
direct via HttpUrlConnection.getURL()
