Calculating video duration take too much time

Question

From my arraylist am trying to display video file name, and duration inRecycler view when i display only name there is no delay, But when i try to display name, duration it take a while.

the delay happen with just 15 to 20 files.

So how do i calculate video file duration faster.

here is what i do.

String folderName = bundle.getString("folderName");
        setTitle(folderName);

        for (int i = 0; i < Constant.allMediaList.size(); i++) {
            if (folderName.equals(new File(String.valueOf(Constant.allMediaList.get(i))).getParentFile().getName())) {
                String fileName = FilenameUtils.getBaseName(Constant.allMediaList.get(i).getAbsolutePath());
                String duration = getDuration(Constant.allMediaList.get(i).getAbsolutePath(), context);
                String path = Constant.allMediaList.get(i).getAbsolutePath();
                videosPath.add(new VideoModel(fileName, duration, path));
            }
        }


public static String getDuration(String absolutePathThumb, Context context) {
    try{
        FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever();
        retriever.setDataSource(context , Uri.parse(absolutePathThumb));
        String time = retriever.extractMetadata(FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_DURATION);
        long timeInMillisec = Long.parseLong(time);
        return convertMillieToHMmSs(timeInMillisec);
    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

Above is what am trying to get file duration and name. What am i doing wrong ?

and my ArrayList is just file path, nothing is indexed.

You can try not create new element of FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever for each file and pass it as parameter in function. Create it outside of for loop:

public static String getDuration(String absolutePathThumb, Context context, FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever retriever) {
    try{
        retriever.setDataSource(context , Uri.parse(absolutePathThumb));
        String time = retriever.extractMetadata(FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_DURATION);
        long timeInMillisec = Long.parseLong(time);
        return convertMillieToHMmSs(timeInMillisec);
    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

I'm not sure but think it could help.
