How To Determine Video Width And Height On Android

I have a video file and I want to get width and height of video. I don't want to play it, just to get size. I've tried to use MediaPlayer: MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.se

Solution 1:

This works in API level 10 and up:

MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
retriever.setDataSource("/path/to/video.mp4");
int width = Integer.valueOf(retriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_WIDTH));
int height = Integer.valueOf(retriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_HEIGHT));
retriever.release();

Solution 2:

In some cases, we are unable to read the metadata. To ensure that we get the width and height, it is best to create a Bitmap using MediaMetadataRetriever, then get the width and height from the created Bitmap, as shown below:

publicintgetVideoWidthOrHeight(File file, String widthOrHeight) {
    MediaMetadataRetrieverretriever=null;
    Bitmapbmp=null;
    FileInputStreaminputStream=null;
    intmWidthHeight=0;                                                                                                                
    try {
        retriever = newMediaMetadataRetriever();
        inputStream = newFileInputStream(file.getAbsolutePath());
        retriever.setDataSource(inputStream.getFD());
        bmp = retriever.getFrameAtTime();
        if (widthOrHeight.equals("width")){
            mWidthHeight = bmp.getWidth();
        }else {
            mWidthHeight = bmp.getHeight();
        }
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (RuntimeException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally{
       if (retriever != null){
           retriever.release()
       }if (inputStream != null){
           inputStream.close()
       }
    }  
    return mWidthHeight;
}

You can call the above method like this:

// Get the video widthint mVideoWidth = getVideoWidthOrHeight(someFile, "width");
// Get the video heightint mVideoHeight = getVideoWidthOrHeight(someFile, "height");

Solution 3:

This worked for me

videoView.setOnPreparedListener(newMediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            @OverridepublicvoidonPrepared(final MediaPlayer mp) {
                intwidth= mp.getVideoWidth();
                intheight= mp.getVideoHeight();
            }
        });

Solution 4:

API level 7 solution:

// get video dimensionsMediaPlayermp=newMediaPlayer();
        try {
            mp.setDataSource(filename);
            mp.prepare();
            mp.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(newOnVideoSizeChangedListener() {
                @OverridepublicvoidonVideoSizeChanged(MediaPlayer mp, int width, int height) {

                    intorient= -1;

                    if(width < height)
                        orient = 1;
                    elseorient=0;

                }
            });
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SecurityException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Solution 5:

This set of utilities to work with the Size abstraction in Android.

It contains an class SizeFromVideoFile.java You can use it like this:

ISizesize=newSizeFromVideoFile(videoFilePath);
size.width();
size.hight();
