Is there a way to generate thumbnail like images from a stored video in codename one?

I have a codename list that uses the generic renderer and has a list of strings which are a local path to either a video or an image. Is there a way to display either the image or a thumbnail of the video on the multiButton icon?

You’ll need to use a native interface. Looks like both iOS and Android support thumbnails from video.

Getting a thumbnail from a video url or data in iPhone SDK

How to create video thumbnail from video file path in Android

You could also do it server-side and then load the thumbnails from your app. E.g. Cloudinary supports generating video thumbnails. http://cloudinary.com/documentation/video_manipulation_and_delivery

The Cloudinary cn1lib is available here: https://github.com/shannah/cloudinary-codenameone
