Hi I'm having a problem with the VideoView - launching activity with VideoView from another activity, video plays, press back - i'm in original activity. But sometimes then i came back from the Video activity - screen is frozen, until i go back again to another previous activity. In such case i see in the log

my VideoActivity is pretty simple ( it's work in progress )
public class VideoViewActivity extends Activity {
private String path = "";
private VideoView mVideoView;
private static final String MEDIA_URL = "media_url";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
mVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
path = getIntent().getStringExtra(MEDIA_URL);
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
mVideoView.stopPlayback();
mVideoView.setMediaController(null);
}
}
So my question is what is the cause of performLayoutAndPlaceSurfacesLocked ? Am I not resetting something before the exit ? layout is basically videoview.xml from SDK ApiDemos.
EDIT : it has something to do with orientation changes. Activity orientation is set to landscape. If activity i'm calling VideoViewActivity from is in landscape at the moment of the call - it's not happening. Setting VideoViewActivity to ignore orientation changes didn't help.
