I created an VideoView
in my activity, below is the code.
VideoView vvVideos = (VideoView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.videoView); MediaController mediacontroller = new MediaController(ctx); mediacontroller.setAnchorView(vvVideos); Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + packageName +"/"+R.raw.sample); vvVideos.setMediaController(mediacontroller); LayoutParams params=vvVideos.getLayoutParams(); params.height=150; vvVideos.setLayoutParams(params); vvVideos.setVideoURI(video); vvVideos.requestFocus(); vvVideos.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() { public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) { vvVideos.start(); } });
Now the video gets started to play when the activity gets created. I want to make my activity as follows
In Android, VideoView is used to display a video file.
seekTo( 1 )
to show the first frame.Ensure the movie is paused and then use seekTo()
to show the first frame of the video:
VideoView mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById( R.id.video_preview ); mVideoView.setVideoURI( yourVideoPath ); mVideoView.seekTo( 1 ); // 1 millisecond (0.001 s) into the clip.
NOTE: We use .seekTo( 1 )
because setting .seekTo( 0 )
did not work on Android 9.
To have it play when clicked on has been answered by @Lingviston in another answer.
Create video thumbnail using this
Bitmap thumb = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail("file path/url", MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);
and set to videoview
BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(thumb); mVideoView.setBackgroundDrawable(bitmapDrawable);
