I am creating a web type application. I am able to show YouTube video thumbnail successfully from https://www.img.youtube.com/video_id ... But if there is any such way to show Google drive video thumbnail. Please help...
Fetching thumbnails from videos uploaded on Google drive is as easy as fetching thumbnails from youtube videos.
Each drive video has a unique id just a youtube video.
Goto drive-->rightclick on video-->Get link
Eg. https://drive.google.com/file/d/<video_id>/view?usp=sharing
Put that video_id in the link format below and you'll be able to get the thumbnail without Google API
https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=<video_id>
There is, you can use the Drive API's get function with field parameter thumbnailLink, it will return a URL to the video's thumbnail. Some things to keep in mind, the video needs to have been processed, which means, when you see it in the Drive folder, you should be able to see an actual thumbnail, not the video logo ().
You can find information on the File Properties here, and on the get method of the Drive API here. On that last one you can also test the method by writing thumbnailLink into the"fields" parameter.

I want to Object detection application on Android.

To develop avobe app,I have some videos for vertification.
Here is my question. Which folder should I put the vertification videos?
For now, I put the videos in raw folder.
But,I am creating an app assuming that the videos were taken with a camera. If so, should it be in the same place as if it were taken by the camera? and, which folder should the videos be placed in?
I'm new to android development.
Could anyone give me some advice? Thank you.
As you are new to Android development I am going to explain in detail.
First you have the videos for verification. You should put those videos in raw folder. But what if the size of those videos is too large? That means the size of your APK will also increase which is not a good thing if you want to upload your app on google play store. In this case, you can store those videos on your own server, and when user installs your app download those videos from the server.
Now let's come to the second question: Where should I put the videos taken with the camera?
You can put these videos in any of the following paths.
context.getFilesDir();
or
context.getExternalFilesDir(null);
These paths are on which you can store the camera-shooted videos and do any processing on them. If you want to know the difference between these two paths that's another topic. You can learn about them here.

The Get Thumbnail API can generate either a png or jpg thumbnail file from a video. But it cannot generate a video thumbnail (such as a mp4 or gif file) from a video.
I have video uploaded on server. which is trailer of movie. I can play this video direct to my videoView with the help of live url. My question: is there any method in android which help me out to get a video frame from url without download the video to local storage. I know one method name "createvideothumbnail" but it will not work in my case. because i need to get the video thumbnail without download the whole video. as you have seen the mechanism is implemented in imdb official app (Trailer section).
Please help, thanks in advance
Getting thumbnails without download the complete video is not possible until now (API Level 22) i´m pretty sure that the application that you describe load thumbnails that were created previously.
the current option would be using the class:
import android.provider.MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails;
or create the thumbnails in a separated process.
I need to Download Vimeo viodes in my app having no video id. How can I get vimeo video url? Or is there any other way to download video in android?
Download capability is only provided to PRO members requesting their own videos, from their own API app.
If this is what you are looking for, you should be able to see download links on every video in https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos
My goal is to create an app that can know the name of the current video playing in youtube app in android. I have found it is impossible(possible?). So maybe there is a way for me to know the current video's url ( then maybe I can obtain the video id from the url).
Is it possible? I have check the youtube process's proc folder, but I didn't find such information. Because the youtube app doesn't use an browser, is it possible for me to know such information? thx:>
