How do I get thumbnail of a video in android

You can use glide. its automatically set thumb image of video.

Glide is also able to display the thumbnail of videos, as long as they're stored on the phone. Let's assume you get the file path by letting the user select a video: Based on this document https://futurestud.io/tutorials/glide-displaying-gifs-and-videos

String filePath = "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/example_video.mp4";

Glide  
    .with(context)
    .asBitmap()
    .load(Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath)))
    .into(imageViewGifAsBitmap);

It is the default way to create a thumbnail.

For Mini Kind

Bitmap thumb;
//MINI_KIND, size:  512 x 384 thumbnail 
    thumb = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(filePath, MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);
            img_tumbnail.setImageBitmap(thumb);

For Micro Kind

Bitmap thumb;
//MICRO_KIND, size: 96 x 96 thumbnail
thumb= ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(filePath, Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND);
img_tumbnail.setImageBitmap(thumb);

Also, you can use Glide for Url as well as Video path of Device.

Glide.with(context).with(this)
                    .asBitmap()
                    .load(videoFilePath) // or URI/path
                    .into(imgView); //imageview to set thumbnail to

also, you can resize thumbnail by using .override(50,50) with Glide.
