I have activity with VideoView. After activity creation I starts video playback. And everything is ok before the moment, when I press Home button. When I return to the activity from home screen video buffer is empty and video playback starts from the very beginning. That is a problem because I think that video should be paused in Home button pressed moment and started again when we returned from home screen. In debugger I can see, that before Home button is pressed, VideoView has initialized mMediaPlayer field. But when I watch on this field in onStart() after returning from home screen this field is nulled. How can I achieve "right" behavior?

Try by overiding the onPause and onRestart method of the activity life cycle.

In onPause() just pause the video from playing and in onRestart() just play it again.
