[android-developers] Re: displaying thumbnails for the videos which are streamed from youtube

The documentation for ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail says it
takes a file path (local) for the first argument, not a URL. I
wouldn't expect it to somehow download the video and make a thumbnail
out of it.
