What should be the original ID of thumbnails in MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails methods?

Question

I'm trying to get the thumbnails of some images but the documentation is very unclear about what the origId should be. I have a simple method that takes a file as parameter and returns a drawable for thumbnails like this:

Bitmap thumbnail = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(mContext.getContentResolver(), Long.parseLong(Uri.fromFile(file).getLastPathSegment()), Thumbnails.MINI_KIND, null); 
BitmapDrawable bd = new BitmapDrawable(mContext.getResources(), thumbnail);
return bd;

But I get a java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid long exception whenever getThumbnail is called.

So how should I obtain the correct origId for an image file?

Try this way (this worked for me):

Bitmap ThumbImage = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath), THUMBSIZE, THUMBSIZE);
