ExoPlayer switching media source without black screen

I'm using exoplayer in my project, when switching mediasource i just use

player.stop();
player.prepare(mediaSource);

This causes approx. 0.5 seconds black screen until it switches video.

Is there a way to tell exoplayer to retain last frame from previous video (instead of 0.5 sec black screen) until new video is started?

In my case I'm having a single instance on SimpleExoPlayer and i used to set this via setPlayer in exoplayer view with changed video url's but having blank screen when scroll back to previously played videos.

I just used setPlayer(null) before again setting the player in exoplayerview and the black screen issue fixed.

Exoplayer's developers have provided solution to this issue here.

Simply add this line using your SimplePlayerView instance

playerView.setKeepContentOnPlayerReset(true);

Alternatively, you can also do this via your layout.xml file,

app:keep_content_on_player_reset="true"
