Android - resume or resume video

I am writing a simple Android application with a class that extends an activity that plays a video from a URL on the internet. There is a button at the top that, when clicked, takes the user to a web page.

What I want to do, when the user is viewing the webpage, if he clicks the back button, I want him to go back to the main action and restart the video. Is there a way to do this?

Also, is there a way to resume the video from where it left off?

Thanks. Chris

I don't know the details of how the player works, but I suspect you need:



  • Replace onSaveInstanceState to save location in video (maybe timestamp?)

  • Override onRestoreInstanceState to reload the video and search for the point saved in step 1

Try it.



@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.video_view);

    videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_surface);
    mc = new MediaController(this);
    videoView.setMediaController(mc);

    videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("myUri"));
    videoView.start();
}


@Override
public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();
    videoView.resume();
}

@Override
public void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
    videoView.suspend();
}
