Android ThumbnailUtils returning null, filenotfoundexception?

Currently attempting to get a thumbnail from a returned video (either from gallery or from the video intent on the device) to display in an ImageView, but am getting FileNotFound exceptions and a null Bitmap being returned. Not entirely sure where I'm going wrong although judging by the error it must be the path that is not right somehow. Any ideas?

if (requestCode == GALLERY_VIDEO_CODE  || requestCode == VIDEO_CODE) {
            videoURI = data.getData();
            if(videoURI != null) {
                MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, videoURI);
                int duration = mp.getDuration();
                mp.release();
                if (duration <= 11000) {
                    addBtn.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                    clearBtn.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Video added!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    File file = new File(videoURI.getPath());
                    Bitmap bm = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(file.getAbsolutePath(), MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);
                    userPhoto.setImageBitmap(bm);
                } else {
                    videoURI = null;
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Video too long - maximum duration is 10 seconds", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    addBtn.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    clearBtn.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                }
Solution

  • Somewhat solved this by getting my filepath to put into the createVideoThumbnail() method using this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20470572/5325511
