Answer 1

byte[] imageData = null;

try
{

final int THUMBNAIL_SIZE = 64;

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
Bitmap imageBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis);

Float width = new Float(imageBitmap.getWidth());
Float height = new Float(imageBitmap.getHeight());
Float ratio = width/height;
imageBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(imageBitmap, (int)(THUMBNAIL_SIZE * ratio), THUMBNAIL_SIZE, false);

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
imageBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);

If you like HQ thumbnails, so use [RapidDecoder][1] library. It is simple as follow:

import rapid.decoder.BitmapDecoder;
...
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapDecoder.from(getResources(), R.drawable.image)
                             .scale(width, height)
                             .useBuiltInDecoder(true)
                             .decode();

Don't forget to use builtin decoder if you want to scale down less than 50% and a HQ result.

Answer 3

Try this.

final int THUMBSIZE = 64;

Bitmap ThumbImage = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath), 
                    THUMBSIZE, THUMBSIZE);

Refer this for more details.

Using MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails you can query and get two kinds of thumbnails: MINI_KIND: 512 x 384 thumbnail MICRO_KIND: 96 x 96 thumbnail.

The advantage of using this call is that the thumbnails are cached by the MediaStore. So retrieval would be faster if the thumbnail was previously created.
