Solution 1:

You can get a video frame with MediaMetadataRetriever. The basic usage is as follows.

MediaMetadataRetrieverretriever=newMediaMetadataRetriever();

// Set data source to retriever.// From your code, you might want to use your 'String path' here.
retriever.setDataSource(yourPath);

// Get a frame in Bitmap by specifying time.// Be aware that the parameter must be in "microseconds", not milliseconds.Bitmapbitmap= retriever.getFrameAtTime(timeInMicroSeconds);

// Do something with your bitmap.

You might want to use FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever for better performance.

I have did successfully and keeping the project in github for your reference.
