Get a thumbnail

Bichehype · by **Bichehype** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 10:07 pm

Hey !

I'm trying to show a gallery with many pictures. I resize every bitmap : this process is toooo slow !
So, I found the class MediaStore.Images.Thumbnail but didn't understood how it works.

I'm working with API Level 3 : getThumbnail isn't available.

The question is : How to get a MICRO_KIND (96x96) picture in a bitmap?
Any ideas?

Thanks

see Greg Zimmers comment on:
from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1334 ... thumbnails
(but don't know if it works for API Level 3 already)

An additional question regarding video thumbnails:

How to get a thumbnail of a video that's stored on the SD card, not under resources? Or how to assign an/get the id of it? Does it even have one?

For the getThumbnail method, I'd need to pass the video id as parameter:
MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(crThumb, id, MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND, options);

hi Mathias,

it's poorly documented, but my common sense tells me origId is not something similar to R class and its IDs.

i think its some kind of id assigned by MediaStore/MediaScanner

i didn't try it but it may be VideoColumns.MINI_THUMB_MAGIC

btw the same id is used to cancel any pending getThumbnail reaquest

after all raw files under res/raw folder are limited to afaik 1 MB and who uld like to see video that short?

Since your thread was hijacked a little, I'll help you with image thumbnails lol. MediaStore is a database that Android keeps with information about every piece of media that you put on your phone's storage. To access its data, you use a cursor to query the database. Try googling cursors and databases if you've never done this, and check out this article:

just tested it

origid (the 2nd param in getThumbnail()) is just BaseColumns._ID field when you query MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
 
String[] proj = {
 
                BaseColumns._ID
 
};
 
Cursor c = cr.query(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, proj, null, null, null);
 
if (c.moveToNext()) {
 
        int id = c.getInt(0);
 
        Bitmap b = MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(cr, id, MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND, null);
 
        Log.d(TAG, "onCreate bitmap " + b);
 
        ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.thumbnail);
 
        iv.setImageBitmap(b);
 
}
 
c.close();
