seekTo in VideoView

问题

I'm having problems with seeking video. My application should resume video from place where it was stopped last time. So I do this:

videoView.seekTo(bookmark);
videoView.start();

However when it plays I hear sounds form beginning of video for about 1-2 sec. And only after that video seeks to the right position. This behavior is reproducible on HTC Nexus One, HTC G1, HTC evo. But on Samsung galaxy tab all plays normally.

Anybody had similar problems? Is this bug HTC-specific? Thanks in advance.

I guess that can be a reason:

from api doc

Although the asynchronuous seekTo(int) call returns right way, the actual seek operation may take a while to finish, especially for audio/video being streamed. When the actual seek operation completes, the internal player engine calls a user supplied OnSeekComplete.onSeekComplete() if an OnSeekCompleteListener has been registered beforehand via setOnSeekCompleteListener(OnSeekCompleteListener).

now Videoview does not have OnSeekCompleteListener exposed and it sucks, but Videoview is just a wrapper class for Mediaplayer and SurfaceView

It is definitely not specific to your phone. I am having the same issue on an HTC Incredible. The seekTo works but there is an audio glitch from the beginning of the clip. Based on the results trying to implement the custom VideoView I guess I won't go to the trouble. I am now going to see if I can mute the very beginning of the clip. I'll report back here if I succeed.

Well, I have given up on this. The only way I have found to mute the beginning of the clip is to mute the phone entirely, which would mute the background music as well. I will assume that this will be fixed sometime in the future since this is a known issue:
