I want to extract frames from video file stored on the device. Every solution i found is to use FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever or MediaMetadaraRetriever, but as I wrote here it's not working for me. Is there any other way to extract frames from video?
I admit I haven't used this method for a while, but if it still works with the current Android API, it should do the trick.
Please let me know if it still works. If not - I will delete this answer.
public static Bitmap getVideoFrame(Context context, Uri uri, long time) {
Bitmap bitmap = null;
MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
try {
retriever.setDataSource(context, uri);
bitmap = retriever.getFrameAtTime(time);
} catch (RuntimeException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
retriever.release();
} catch (RuntimeException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
return bitmap;
}
Hope this helps.
