android get thumbnail of image stored on sdcard whose path is known

Question

Say I have an image stores at path "/mnt/images/abc.jpg". How do I get the system generated thumbnail bitmap for this image. I know how to get the thumbnail of an image from its Uri, but not from its file-path

Answer 1

You can try with this:

public static Bitmap getThumbnail(ContentResolver cr, String path) throws Exception {

    Cursor ca = cr.query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, new String[] { MediaStore.MediaColumns._ID }, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=?", new String[] {path}, null);
    if (ca != null && ca.moveToFirst()) {
        int id = ca.getInt(ca.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.MediaColumns._ID));
        ca.close();
        return MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(cr, id, MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND, null );
    }

    ca.close();
    return null;

}
