        final Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(surfaceView.getWidth(), surfaceView.getHeight(),
                Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);



        // Create a handler thread to offload the processing of the image.
        final HandlerThread handlerThread = new HandlerThread("PixelCopier");
        handlerThread.start();
        // Make the request to copy.
        PixelCopy.request(holder.videoView, bitmap, (copyResult) -> {
            if (copyResult == PixelCopy.SUCCESS) {
                Log.e(TAG,bitmap.toString());
                String name = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
                imageFile = ScreenshotUtils.store(bitmap,name);

            } else {
                Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getViewActivity(),
                        "Failed to copyPixels: " + copyResult, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                toast.show();
            }
            handlerThread.quitSafely();
        }, new Handler(handlerThread.getLooper()));
    }
