Uri uri = Uri.parse(url); 
vv.setVideoURI(uri);
vv.start();

I use VideoView to play an url video. like above. But while I change th phone screenOrientation. It will reload all video. How to improve the program to the reloading action? Thanks a lot.

Solution 1: (In most case this works..)

Modifies your VideoView xml file something like,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/videoView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

Solution 2..

Or Handle orientation change in your activity,

For activity tag of video in AndroidManifest.xml:

 android:configChanges="orientation"

So the whole line would look like this:

<activity android:name="<Your video avtivityy>" android:configChanges="orientation" />

And then add the following method to this activity:

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
     // stuff for set video to proper position..
}

And let me know what happen...
