I'm working on a project that uses ExoPlayer to stream videos from a URL. But there is an issue with my code. When the device is rotated, the entire video is restarted.
Using android:configChanges fixes it, but I'm not supposed to use that.
I used onSaveInstanceState() to cache all required data such as playerPosition, currentWindow, and setPlayWhenReady; and I retrieve it accordingly. But it still doesn't work as expected. How do I fix this?
Here is the entire Fragment class that has this issue:
