YouTube API — getting video thumbnail
Each YouTube video has 4 generated images. They are predictably formatted as follows:
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/0.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/1.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/2.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/3.jpg
The first one in the list is a full size image and others are thumbnail images. The default thumbnail image (ie. one of 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg) is:
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/default.jpg
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle"
android:dither="true">
<corners android:radius="2dp"/>
<solid android:color="#ccc" />

Crop and resize an image using MiniMagick in Ruby on Rails. Two approaches.
def resize_nocrop_noscale(image, w,h)
w_original = image[:width].to_f
h_original = image[:height].to_f
if w_original < w && h_original < h
return image
end
# resize
image.resize("#{w}x#{h}")
