There still is no official way of doing this as far as I can tell. It can however be done I've discovered!
The only thing you need is the java file for MediaMetadataRetriever from the cupcake source: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob_plain;f=media/java/android/media/MediaMetadataRetriever.java;hb=HEAD Save that file as MediaMetadataRetriever.java under <project name>/src/ android/media/ and update your eclipse project so it shows up in the package explorer. Then just use it like any other class: import android.media.MediaMetadataRetriever; .... private Bitmap getVideoFrame(String uri) { MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever(); try { retriever.setMode (MediaMetadataRetriever.MODE_CAPTURE_FRAME_ONLY); retriever.setDataSource(uri); return retriever.captureFrame(); } catch(IllegalArgumentException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } catch (RuntimeException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { retriever.release(); } catch (RuntimeException ex) { } } return null; } Note that this is an unofficial way of doing it and it will only work in cupcake (and maybe later version). The Android team does not guarantee that libmedia_jni.so, which the java file uses, will be included or have the same interface in future versions. -Anders Haglund On Jun 13, 9:52 pm, Ty <ty.mcdowell...@gmail.com> wrote: > If anyone has a clue let us know! > > Thanks much! > > On May 5, 9:34 pm, Ty <ty.mcdowell...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Apparently this was added with Cupcake.
