Code:

}

}

Answer 1

public static Bitmap createVideoThumbnail (String filePath, int kind)

Create a video thumbnail for a video. May return null if the video is corrupt or the format is not supported.

So, Might be bitmap value is null. to avoid this Write your code like this:

if(bitmap != null)
{
addBitmapToMemoryCache(String.valueOf(params[0]), bitmap);
}

Answer 2

It's because ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail() can return null
So you will need to add check NPE for the bitmap in addBitmapToMemoryCache() method
