一：系统提供的一个从数据库中获得缩略图的方法

我在这篇使用七牛云存储上传android本地视频并播放博客中使用了下面的android系统提供的api来获取视频的缩略图

bitmap = MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(mContentResolver, anInt, MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND, null);

相对这个api，系统还在ThumbnailUtils中提供了一个

public static Bitmap createVideoThumbnail(String filePath, int kind)

但是第二个api因为是临时生成新的图片，因此在获取视频缩略图列表这样的页面中，耗费时间不可取。那么第一个api呢？getThumbnail()根据系统的注释，我们知道他可以检查指定的视频缩略图是否已经存在，如果不存就线程阻塞直到缩略图生成为止。

This method checks if the thumbnails of the specified image (origId) has been created.

It will be blocked until the thumbnails are generated.

二：getThumbnail方法分析

其实这个getThumbnail调用的是下面的这个方法

InternalThumbnails.getThumbnail(cr, origId,

InternalThumbnails.DEFAULT_GROUP_ID, kind, options,

EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, true)

而这个方法过长，我们只贴关心的部分

long magic = thumbFile.getMagic(origId);

if (magic != 0) {

if (kind == MICRO_KIND) {

synchronized (sThumbBufLock) {

if (sThumbBuf == null) {

sThumbBuf = new byte[MiniThumbFile.BYTES_PER_MINTHUMB];

}

if (thumbFile.getMiniThumbFromFile(origId, sThumbBuf) != null) {

bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(sThumbBuf, 0, sThumbBuf.length);

if (bitmap == null) {

Log.w(TAG, "couldn't decode byte array.");

}

}

}

return bitmap;

} else if (kind == MINI_KIND) {

String column = isVideo ? "video_id=" : "image_id=";

c = cr.query(baseUri, PROJECTION, column + origId, null, null);

if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {

bitmap = getMiniThumbFromFile(c, baseUri, cr, options);

if (bitmap != null) {

return bitmap;

}

}

}

magic是系统根据origId查询得到的缩略图对应的一个标志。我们看到当kind==MINI_KIND的时候，系统开始在缩略图表中查找缩略图。待会我们自己查表看看速度如何。

String column = isVideo ? "video_id=" : "image_id=";

c = cr.query(baseUri, PROJECTION, column + origId, null, null);

三：getThumbnail实际执行耗时

手机中有八个视频，那么看看每个视频执行getThumbnail()方法获取缩略图的耗时，单位为毫秒。

四：通过thumnail表单独查询速度快

通过MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.getThumbnail()方法来查询缩略图耗时不可忍受。那么我们单独查表呢？

int id = cursor.getInt(cursor

.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Video.Media._ID));

thumbCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(

MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,

thumbColumns, MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.VIDEO_ID

+ "=" + id, null, null);

if (thumbCursor.moveToFirst()) {

String path = thumbCursor.getString(thumbCursor

.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.DATA));

long a = System.currentTimeMillis();

Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path);

bitmapArrayList.add(bitmap);

DebugUtil.error("---> string:"+ path);

DebugUtil.error("----> totalTime:"+(System.currentTimeMillis()-a));

}

我们先查表获得视频id，再通过视频id来查询thumbnail表，获得缩略图，执行耗时如下：

快了何止千百倍，难道是我对getThumbnail()方法理解错误？因为却少环境调试，无法进一步跟踪。
