How do I get thumbnail of a video in android

Question

I want some help in creating thumbnail of a video being recorded from my android phone and I got this code from this Link, and I modified this part of the code to generate the thumbnail but somehow the thumbnail is not being generated, so any help will be appreciated.

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

    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == VIDEO_CAPTURED) {
        videoFileUri = data.getData();
        if (videoFileUri != null) {
           Bitmap image= ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(videoFileUri.toString(),MODE_APPEND);

 ImageView imageView=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image);
 imageView.setImageBitmap(image);
        }

        playVideoButton.setEnabled(true);
    }
}

It seems like you're creating the thumbnail Bitmap (I assume) and then do nothing with it. Is this really all the relevant code? — SpaceBison, Jun 20 '18 at 05:55

You can use glide. its automatically set thumb image of video.

Glide is also able to display the thumbnail of videos, as long as they're stored on the phone. Let's assume you get the file path by letting the user select a video: Based on this document https://futurestud.io/tutorials/glide-displaying-gifs-and-videos

String filePath = "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/example_video.mp4";

Glide  
    .with(context)
    .asBitmap()
    .load(Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath)))
    .into(imageViewGifAsBitmap);

Here is the complete tested working solution:

Try it.

    if (videoFileUri != null) {

                        Bitmap bitmapThumb = null;
                        try {
                            bitmapThumb = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(videoFileUri.toString(),
                                    MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);// MINI_KIND, size: 512 x 384 thumbnail | MICRO_KIND, size: 96 x 96 thumbnail

                            ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
//                            imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmapThumb);

                            Uri uri = getImageUri(context, bitmapThumb);

                            Picasso.with(context)
                                    .load(uri)
                                    .placeholder(R.drawable.ic_imagedefault)
                                    .error(R.drawable.ic_imagedefault)
                                    .resize(350, 200)//as per need.
                                    .centerCrop()
                                    .into(imageView);

                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        } finally {
                            bitmapThumb = null;
                        }
                    }
                }

Here is the static method for getImageUri :

public static Uri getImageUri(Context inContext, Bitmap inImage) {

    try {
        ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        inImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, bytes);
        String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(inContext.getContentResolver(), inImage, "Title", null);
        return Uri.parse(path);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return Uri.parse("");
    }

}

i did it all but it does not seem to be working here...i don't know why — Vipul Singh, Jun 20 '18 at 07:27

 Bitmap bitmap = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(filePath, MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND);

This works fine for me. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/ThumbnailUtils

Uri uri = getImageUri(context, bitmapThumb);
Glide.with(getContext()).
load(uri).
thumbnail(0.1f).
