Videoview Onresume Loses Buffered Portion of The Video

Videoview Pausing and resuming

You can use this

@Override
public void onPause() {
    Log.d(TAG, "onPause called");
    super.onPause();
    stopPosition = videoView.getCurrentPosition(); //stopPosition is an int
    videoView.pause();
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    Log.d(TAG, "onResume called");
    videoView.seekTo(stopPosition);
    videoView.start(); //Or use resume() if it doesn't work. I'm not sure
}

Buffering videos with VideoView

I've found the answer. Add a ProgressBar over the top of the VideoView and do the following:

    mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {

        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            mSpinner.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
    });

Detect if a VideoVIew is buffering

Since API level 17, you can now access the InfoListener from the MediaPlayer:

final MediaPlayer.OnInfoListener onInfoToPlayStateListener = new MediaPlayer.OnInfoListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onInfo(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
        switch (what) {
            case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_INFO_VIDEO_RENDERING_START: {
                mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                return true;
            }
            case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_INFO_BUFFERING_START: {
                mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                return true;
            }
            case MediaPlayer.MEDIA_INFO_BUFFERING_END: {
                mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

});

mVideoView.setOnInfoListener(onInfoToPlayStateListener);
