How to get a photo of video playing inside FrameLayout in android?

Question

I m playing a video inside a framelayout and when i press button, i want to take a photo of that video frame and i want to save it to sdcard. How can i do that? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If by photo you mean a thumbnail then the following code could be of use to you:

int id = **"The Video's ID"**
ImageView iv = (ImageView ) convertView.findViewById(R.id.imagePreview);
ContentResolver crThumb = getContentResolver();
BitmapFactory.Options options=new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 1;
Bitmap curThumb = MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(crThumb, id,
MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND, options);
iv.setImageBitmap(curThumb);

You then just have to link this code to a button press using the Android onClickListner. A simple example using a listener would be like this:

final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_id);
         button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
             public void onClick(View v) {
                 // Perform action on click
             }
         });

Finally to save the thumbnail to the SD card you should take a look at this answer:

Android Save images to SQLite or SDCard or memory
