android get video thumbnail PATH, not Bitmap

Question

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

MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.queryMiniThumbnail

Answer 1

Get Video thumbnail path from video_id:

public static String getVideoThumbnail(Context context, int videoID) {
        try {
            String[] projection = {
                    MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.DATA,
            };
            ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
            Cursor cursor = cr.query(
                    MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
                    projection, 
                    MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.VIDEO_ID + "=?", 
                    new String[] { String.valueOf(videoID) }, 
                    null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            return cursor.getString(0);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
        return null;
    }

Answer 2

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.
