Set thumbnail to an Intent for VideoView

I have to play a video in one of my screens of Android and I am using Video View intent for the same. The video gets played but there is no thumbnail appearing on the launch of the screen.

My code is like this

@OnClick(R.id.icon_play)
    protected void playVideo(){
        String videoUrl="https://someUrl/Video/v07.mp4";
        if(!videoUrl.isEmpty()) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(videoUrl));
            intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(videoUrl), "video/mp4");
            startActivity(intent);
        }

    }

By thumbnail, I mean that when the screen is launched each video should have an image of its own. (something like YouTube)

I tried seekTo() for attaching the thumbnail, but it didn't work. Please Help. Thanks.

I solve the problem using MediaMetaDataRetriever.

The code goes like this-

public static Bitmap retriveVideoFrameFromVideo(String videoPath)
            throws Throwable
    {
        Bitmap bitmap = null;
        MediaMetadataRetriever mediaMetadataRetriever = null;
        try
        {
            mediaMetadataRetriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14)
                mediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(videoPath, new HashMap<String, String>());
            else
                mediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(videoPath);
            //   mediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(videoPath);
            bitmap = mediaMetadataRetriever.getFrameAtTime(-1,MediaMetadataRetriever.OPTION_CLOSEST);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new Throwable(
                    "Exception in retriveVideoFrameFromVideo(String videoPath)"
                            + e.getMessage());

        }
        finally
        {
            if (mediaMetadataRetriever != null)
            {
                mediaMetadataRetriever.release();
            }
        }
        return bitmap;
    }

Note that : Because my video link was in the form of server URL, that's why createThumnailUtils was returning a null when video Url was passed through it.

The below code works fine when the video is coming from local storage.

Bitmap thumbnail = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail("URL", MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);

BitmapDrawable bitmapD = new BitmapDrawable(thumbnail);
VideoView.setBackground(Drawable bitmapD);

Hope this helps someone!!
