MediaMetadataRetriever Class in Android with Examples

// load data file
// filePath is of type String which holds the path of file
MediaMetadataRetriever metaRetriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
metaRetriever.setDataSource(filePath);

// get mp3 info
String duration = metaRetriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_DURATION);
long dur = Long.parseLong(duration);

// convert duration to minute:seconds
String seconds = String.valueOf((dur % 60000) / 1000);
String minutes = String.valueOf(dur / 60000);
String out = minutes + ":" + seconds;
if (seconds.length() == 1) {
    txtTime.setText("0" + minutes + ":0" + seconds);
}
else {
    txtTime.setText("0" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
}

// close object
metaRetriever.release();

MediaMetadataRetriever m = new MediaMetadataRetriever();

// load data file
m.setDataSource(path);

// getting the bitmap of a frame from video
Bitmap thumbnail = m.getFrameAtTime();

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 17) {
    String s = m.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_ROTATION);
}

// Another way of determining whether the video is Landscape or portrait
MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
retriever.setDataSource(inputPath);
video_width = Integer.valueOf(retriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_WIDTH));
video_height = Integer.valueOf(retriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_HEIGHT));

// close object
retriever.release();

// If the width is bigger than the height then it means that
// the video was taken in landscape mode and vice versa.
if ((video_width > video_height)) {
    // landscape
}
else {
    // portrait
}

// close object
