Question

I have the video which is stored under specific folder in sdcard. Currently i have the path as only parameter(Ex:”sdcard/test/sample.mp4″), by using url alone is it possible to retrieve the thumbnail of the image.

I also want to show the video preview display in android ,any one provide some example to do this thing.

Thanks

ThumbnailUtils is an easy-to use API for generating thumbnails from arbitrary filesystem paths. It is available in API level 8.

Check out ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail:

Bitmap thumb = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(path,
    MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);
