Android Displaying video and image thumbnails from byte array
<p>There are posts to show video thumbnails from URI and local Android Gallary. However, in my case, I am retrieving the files and videos as byte arrays from SOAP Calls over HTTP from remote site - No URLs - ONLY the actual byte arrays. Just wondering whether or not it is possible to convert the actual byte array for videos and images into corresponding thumbnails and display them in ListView. Do I need to store them locally before I can display them? Or the server side application MUST change to get me something else to display them as thumbnail and then when I click one of them I need to make another request? </p>

<p>I guess what I want is similar to the display from Youtube. When you search a video, it first gets displayed as video thumbnail and then you have to click on it to stream the video. </p>

<p>Help and pointers will be much  appreciated. </p>
