The difference is in the size (dimensions) of the thumbnail.
MINI_KIND: 512 x 384
MICRO_KIND: 96 x 96
So when it comes to displaying, the difference you will observe will be the difference in dimensions. MICRO_KIND
is smaller and square, while MINI_KIND
is relatively bigger and rectangular.
MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND
and MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND
are both integers with value 1
So when you call the methods above, what you are basically doing is:
Bitmap bmp = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(videoPath,1);
This is the reason it always works.
Just keep in mind as a convention to use:
MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND
for image thumbnails and,MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND
for video thumbnails,
so as to make the code consistent and readable.
