1.2k views Asked by At

MainActivity.java (this is the main class for all functionalities), need to generate thumbnail of videos on a corner of the camera app & when the thumbnail will be clicked it will play the video.

I have tried Recycler view but it didnt worked. Can anyone help me out ?

Have you tried this below code,

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

UPDATE

 private CameraDevice.StateCallback mCameraDeviceStateCallback = new CameraDevice.StateCallback() {

        @Override
        public void onOpened(CameraDevice camera) {
            mCameraDevice = camera;
            if(mIsRecording){
                try {
                    createVideoFileName();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                startRecord();
                mMediaRecorder.start();
                mChronometer.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
                mChronometer.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                mChronometer.start();
            }else{
                startPreview();

            }
            //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Camera connected",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onDisconnected(CameraDevice camera) {
            camera.close();
            mCameraDevice = null;
   //here your camera disconnected, so, you can do your other UI stuffs here.
       Bitmap thumb = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(mVideoFileName ,MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND)
        }

        @Override
        public void onError(CameraDevice camera, int i) {

        }
    };

I suggest you to use Glide to generate a thumbnail of a frame from your video, it is the best and Efficiency way to achieve it:

Glide.with(activity)
                     .load(yourVideoUri)
                     .asBitmap()
                     .override(THUMBNAIL_DEFAULT_RESOLUTION, THUMBNAIL_DEFAULT_RESOLUTION)
                     .into(yourImageView);

In other way, if you want to set your video in a view, you should use a VideoView. Here is an example about how to do it:

 @Override public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
      mp.setLooping(true);
      videoContainer.start();
      videoContainer.seekTo(VIDEO_START_VALUE);     
   }

   @Override public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
      //Manage onCompletion callback if necessary
   }
