How to determine video width and height on Android

Question

I have a video file and I want to get width and height of video. I don't want to play it, just to get size. I've tried to use MediaPlayer:

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.setDataSource(uriString); mp.prepare(); int width = mp.getVideoWidth(); int height = mp.getVideoHeight(); 

but it returns 0 for width and height, because VideoSizeChangedEvent didn't fire yet. How can I get width and height of video?

UPD: I need API version 7

Answer 1

This works in API level 10 and up:

MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever(); retriever.setDataSource("/path/to/video.mp4"); int width = Integer.valueOf(retriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_WIDTH)); int height = Integer.valueOf(retriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_HEIGHT)); retriever.release();
