if you don t or cannot go through cursor and if you have only paths or File objects  you can use since API level 8  2 2      public static Bitmap createVideoThumbnail  String filePath  int kind   Android documentation  The following code runs perfectly   Bitmap bMap   ThumbnailUtils createVideoThumbnail file getAbsolutePath    MediaStore Video Thumbnails MICRO KIND

I really suggest you to use the Glide library  It s among the most efficient way to generate and display a video thumbnail for a local video file   Just add this line to your gradle file    compile  com github bumptech glide glide 3 7 0    And it will become as simple as    String filePath     storage emulated 0 Pictures example video mp4    Glide        with  context        load  Uri fromFile  new File  filePath            into  imageViewGifAsBitmap      You can find more informations here   https   futurestud io blog glide-displaying-gifs-and-videos  Cheers

Using the class  import android provider MediaStore Video Thumbnails   We can get two preview thumbnail sizes from the video  Thumbnails MICRO KIND for 96 x 96 Thumbnails MINI KIND for 512 x 384 px This is a code example  String filePath    quot  sdcard DCIM Camera my video mp4 quot     change the location of your file   ImageView imageview mini    ImageView findViewById R id thumbnail mini   ImageView imageview micro    ImageView findViewById R id thumbnail micro    Bitmap bmThumbnail     MICRO KIND  size  96 x 96 thumbnail bmThumbnail   ThumbnailUtils createVideoThumbnail filePath  Thumbnails MICRO KIND   imageview micro setImageBitmap bmThumbnail            MINI KIND  size  512 x 384 thumbnail  bmThumbnail   ThumbnailUtils createVideoThumbnail filePath  Thumbnails MINI KIND   imageview mini setImageBitmap bmThumbnail

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

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

Currently I Use following code     Bitmap bMap   ThumbnailUtils createVideoThumbnail file getAbsolutePath    MediaStore Video Thumbnails MICRO KIND     But I found better solution with Glide library with following code   It also cache your image and have better performance than previous approach    Glide with context                   load uri                   placeholder R drawable ic video place holder                   into imageView

This solution will work for any version of Android  It has proven to work in 1 5 and 2 2 This is not another  This is for Android 2 0   solution  I found this through an email message board collection page and cannot find the original link  All credit goes to the original poster   In your app you would use this by calling   Bitmap bm   getVideoFrame VideoStringUri     Somewhere in it s own function  outside the OnCreate  ect   you would need    private Bitmap getVideoFrame String uri            MediaMetadataRetriever retriever   new MediaMetadataRetriever            try               retriever setMode MediaMetadataRetriever MODE CAPTURE FRAME ONLY               retriever setDataSource uri               return retriever captureFrame              catch  IllegalArgumentException ex                ex printStackTrace              catch  RuntimeException ex                ex printStackTrace              finally               try                   retriever release                  catch  RuntimeException ex                                    return null          In your src folder  you need a new subdirectory android media which will house the class  copied from the android source itself  which allows you to use this function  This part should not be changed  renamed  or placed anywhere else  MediaMetadataRetriever java needs to be under android media in your source folder for this all to work         Copyright  C  2008 The Android Open Source Project       Licensed under the Apache License  Version 2 0  the  License       you may not use this file except in compliance with

Android 1 5 and 1 6 do not offer this thumbnails  but 2 0 does  as seen on the official release notes   Media  MediaScanner now generates thumbnails for all images when they are inserted into MediaStore  New Thumbnail API for retrieving image and video thumbnails on demand
