I'm trying to make a simple Android app for my own phone that looks at my Gallery, and for each image/video file:
- creates a
Bitmapthumbnail of the file - records the file's absolute path on the phone
Essentially, I'll have the following data model:
public class MediaFileModel {
private Bitmap thumbnail;
private String absPath;
// ctor, getters and setters omitted for brevity
}
And I need something that looks at all the files in my Gallery and yields a List<MediaFileModel>. My best attempt is here:
public List<MediaFileModel> getAllGalleryMedia() {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA };
List<MediaFileModel> galleryMedia = new ArrayList<>();
Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection,
null,
null,
null);
// I believe here I'm iterating over all the gallery files (???)
while(cursor.moveToNext()) {
MediaFileModel next = new MediaFileModel();
// is this how I get the abs path of the current file?!?
String absPath = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA));
Bitmap thumbnail = null;
if (true /* ??? cursor is pointing to a media file that is an image/photo ??? */) {
thumbnail = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(absPath), 64, 64);
} else {
// else we have a video (I assume???)
thumbnail = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(absPath, MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);
}
next.setThumbnail(thumbnail);
next.setAbsPath(absPath);
galleryMedia.add(next);
}
return galleryMedia;
}
However I'm not sure if my media query is setup correctly and I'm definitely not sure how to determine whether the file is an image/photo of a video, which I (believe I) need so that I can use the correct method for obtaining the thumbnail Bitmap.
Can anyone help nudge me over the finish line here?
