Android videoview resume not working

I have been working on playing videos using VideoView in Android.

OnPause of fragment i am pausing the video and storing the seektime 

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
            super.onPause();

        if (videoview != null && videoview.isPlaying()) {
            videoview.pause();
            seekTime = videoview.getCurrentPosition();

        }
    }

OnResume i am trying to resume the video using - 

        @Override
        public void onResume() {
            super.onResume();
            videoview.seekTo(seekTime);
            //vvOnboardingVideos.resume();// this is not working for now - need to investigate
            videoview.start();   
        }

The video plays from the beginning.

Is there anything i am doing wrong. Please suggest.

Try to reverse order of operations :

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    videoview.start();
    videoview.seekTo(seekTime);   
}

try this:

save the video position when onpause() called

// This gets called before onPause
    @Override
    public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        stopPosition = videoView.getCurrentPosition(); 
        videoView.pause();
        outState.putInt("video_position", stopPosition);
    }

Then in your onCreate() load the stopPosition from the bundle 

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle args) {
        super.onCreate(args);
        if( args != null ) {
            stopPosition = args.getInt("video_position");
        }
    }

Resume the video using:

@Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        Log.d("Tag", "onResume");
        videoView.seekTo(stopPosition);
        videoView.start(); //Or use videoView.resume() if it doesn't work.
    }
