First you need to get list of videos from Gallery and show them in a ListView. You can have a ImageView for the video thumbnail and TextView for description or time etc.

You can create the Thumbnails as below in the GetView method.

ImageView imageThumbnail = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.Thumbnail);
Bitmap bmThumbnail;
bmThumbnail = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(PATH_TO_VIDEO_IN_STRING, Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND);
imageThumbnail.setImageBitmap(bmThumbnail);

People here will expect you to do some coding before asking the question. I hope you can start up with this.
