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
}

Shouldn't use video.pause(), video.resume(), because when you call it, the buffering data will be lost. That is also the reason WHY VideoView play at BEGINNING whenever you call video.resume(). See it: VideoView onResume loses buffered portion of the video

Solution:

VideoView videoView;
MediaPlayer mp;

videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                this.mp = mp;
            }
        });

public void pause(){
    //NOT videoview.pause(); Needn't save Stop position
    if (mp != null){
       mp.pause();
    }
}

public void resume(){
    //NOT videoview.resume();
    if (mp != null){
       mp.start(); //Video will begin where it stopped
    }   
}
