MediaMetadataRetriever: IllegalArgumentException thrown from setDataSource()

Here follow-up my old post "Get image frame in video using MediaMetadataRetriever", related of permission of "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" again.

It's a old exercise to retrieve image frame from mp4 video. At the time I wrote the post, it work as expected without need permission of "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE". But now, you have to add it in AndroidManifest.xml. Otherwise, the code mediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(uri) will throw java.lang.IllegalArgumentException, caused by the path is invalid.


MainActivity.java

package com.example.androidmediametadataretriever;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.media.MediaMetadataRetriever;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

 String uri = "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/LEDrose.mp4";
 ImageView capturedImageView;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  capturedImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.capturedimage);

  MediaMetadataRetriever mediaMetadataRetriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();

  mediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(uri);
  Bitmap bmFrame = mediaMetadataRetriever.getFrameAtTime(5000000);
  capturedImageView.setImageBitmap(bmFrame);

 }

}

Permission of "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" is needed in AndroidManifest.xml. And minSdkVersion have to be 10 or higher to use MediaMetadataRetriever in your code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.androidmediametadataretriever"

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="10"
