I'm just playing an rtsp video on android default player.Halfly, when i change orientation into landscape,it starts streaming from beginning.How could i do continue playing.I gave androidconfig="orientation" on manifest file.But still happens same.What else i need to do for that?

My code:

private String vSource="http://commonsware.com/misc/test2.3gp";

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // sets the Bundle
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // sets the context
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    myVideoView= (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vview);
       myVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(vSource));
       myVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
       myVideoView.requestFocus();
       myVideoView.start();


}

public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState){

    mStartTime = myVideoView.getCurrentPosition();
    outState.putInt("restartTime", mStartTime);
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
 @Override
    public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
      myInt  = savedInstanceState.getInt("restartTime");

 }

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);


      myVideoView.seekTo(myInt);

      myVideoView.start();


}

You can store the actual progress of your video in onSaveInstanceState (called when the activity is destroyed, like when the screen is rotated), then restore it in onRestoreInstanceState.

Please check my code above whether i did any mistake? – sanjay Jul 25 '12 at 09:45
Move your code from `onConfigurationChanged` directly into `onRestoreInstanceState`. – Dalmas Jul 25 '12 at 10:35
