When the orientation change from portrait to landscape, the video starts from the beginning in Android?

I am writing an Android project, at beginning I am playing a video in portrait mode, a few seconds later when i change it from portrait to landscape, the video starts from the beginning(0's)? why?

I have set android:configChanges="orientation" in AndroidManifest.xml and added onConfigurationChanged().

How to let it play from the last position of portrait mode while the mode changes?

onSaveInstanceState() and onRestoreInstanceState are the methods meant to remember and restore the current state when a configuration change occurs like e.g. a screen orientation change.

actually when you change change the orientation of screen the activity is first destroyed and then recreated it. you should check activity life cycle methods by grammatically.

The general way of android to handle the orientation is recreating the entire activity.

If you whant to handle yourself you have to modify the AndroidManifest.xml and set this attribute to the activity node:

android:configChanges="orientation"
