Question

I am writing a simple android application with a class that extends activity, that plays a video from a url on the web. There is a button on top that on click takes the user to a web page.

What I want to do is when the user is browsing the web page, if he hits the back button, I want him to come back to the main activity and restart the video. Is there a way to do this?

Also, is there a way the video can be resumed from where it left off?

Thank you. Chris

Answer 1

I don t know the details of how the video player works, but my hunch is you have to:

Override onSaveInstanceState to save the place in the video (maybe a timestamp?)
Override onRestoreInstanceState to reload the video and seek to the point saved in step 1

Answer 2

Try this.

@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();
}
