I am trying to get thumbnail from a URL Example: "https://www.learningcontainer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/sample-mp4-file.mp4" It is possible in IOS using AVAssets. The way i am doing it is using the following function
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;
}
But the issue is it's slow down the recycleview and load image again and again.
I have solve the issue by using GLide 4.x. I have find another solution by using MediaMetadataRetriever. But it's not feasible to use MediaMetadataRetriever in a recycle view because it runs on main thread and cause ANR. The code that works for me is below.
RequestOptions requestOptions = new RequestOptions();
Glide.with(context)
.load("Your URL")
.apply(requestOptions)
.thumbnail(Glide.with(context).load("Your URL"))
.into(holder.img_video_attachment_preview);
