Get thumbnail image of video from video url

Question

Is it possible to get the thumbnail image from a video Url? I need to thumbnails of videos in a list view.

Answer 1

It's very important to identify the components of a problem. I'd actually say you have two separate problems:

1. Downloading a file from an URL.

2. Creating a thumbnail image from an incomplete video file.

Look into those two separately, you'll find plenty of information.
