Actually what is happening is that, when you are changing the screen orientation, the activity is getting refreshed. You have to stop refreshing the activity on orientation change. For this you can refer:

If you want to continue your video play when change your orientation then

In your manifest file add

<activity android:name=".youractivityname"
              android:label="activity"
              android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"/>
