I created a video recording application with library dialog. The library dialog displays the list of recorded videos where each item consists of icon, video title, tags and location information the following way:

alt text

Does anyone know whether it is possible to replace icons with video thumbnails (single frame preview)?

Thanks!

If you are using API 2.0 or newer this will work.

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);

Try this it's working for me

RequestOptions requestOptions = new RequestOptions();
 Glide.with(getContext())
      .load("video_url")
      .apply(requestOptions)
      .thumbnail(Glide.with(getContext()).load("video_url"))
      .into("yourimageview");

I am answering this question late but hope it will help the other candidate facing same problem.

I have used two methods to load thumbnail for videos list the first was

    Bitmap bmThumbnail;
    bmThumbnail = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(FILE_PATH
                    + videoList.get(position),
            MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);

    if (bmThumbnail != null) {
        Log.d("VideoAdapter","video thumbnail found");
        holder.imgVideo.setImageBitmap(bmThumbnail);
    } else {
        Log.d("VideoAdapter","video thumbnail not found");
    }

its look good but there was a problem with this solution because when i scroll video list it will freeze some time due to its large processing.

so after this i found another solution which works perfectly by using Glide Library.

 Glide
            .with( mContext )
            .load( Uri.fromFile( new File( FILE_PATH+videoList.get(position) ) ) )
            .into( holder.imgVideo );

I recommended the later solution for showing thumbnail with video list . thanks

I know this is an old question with an accepted answer but I want to post my answer in case somebody is searching for this:

so when I wanted to only use Uri so I did this:

val mmr = MediaMetadataRetriever()
mmr.setDataSource(videoUri)
val thummbnailBitmap = mmr.frameAtTime
imageView.setImageBitmap(thummbnailBitmap)
