Question

Is it possible to get the video thumbnail PATH, not Bitmap object itself? I’m aware of method

MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.queryMiniThumbnail

but since I use my own Bitmap caching mechanism I want to have the path to video thumbnail rather than the Bitmap object itself. This method returns Bitmap object, not path.
Thanks

First get the video file URL and then use below query.

Sample Code:

private static final String[] VIDEOTHUMBNAIL_TABLE = new String[] {
    Video.Media._ID, // 0
    Video.Media.DATA, // 1 from android.provider.MediaStore.Video
    };

Uri videoUri = MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.getContentUri("external");

cursor c = cr.query(videoUri, VIDEOTHUMBNAIL_TABLE, where, 
           new String[] {filepath}, null);

if ((c != null) && c.moveToFirst()) {
  VideoThumbnailPath = c.getString(1);
}

VideoThumbnailPath, should have video thumbnail path. Hope it help’s.
