I am using ExoPlayer in my activity,What i want is to smoothly play video in portrait and landscape mode.For this purpose what I am doing is in onpause I save the currentPlayerPosition and seek player to that position in onresume but while rotating it face a jerk and video is stopped for a while and played to the saved position.
My code is below please help me how i can smoothly switch the mode portrait and landscape.Thanks
     @Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if (mExoPlayerView != null && mExoPlayerView.getPlayer() != null) {
        mResumeWindow = mExoPlayerView.getPlayer().getCurrentWindowIndex();
        mResumePosition = Math.max(0, mExoPlayerView.getPlayer().getContentPosition());
        mExoPlayerView.getPlayer().release();
    }
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    if (mExoPlayerView.getPlayer() != null)
        mExoPlayerView.getPlayer().release();
}
  @Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    outState.putInt(STATE_RESUME_WINDOW, mResumeWindow);
    outState.putLong(STATE_RESUME_POSITION, mResumePosition);
    outState.putBoolean(STATE_PLAYER_FULLSCREEN, mExoPlayerFullscreen);
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
   @Override

        }
        @Override
        public void onSeekProcessed() {
        }
    });
}
Finally, After wasting 2 days I found it. Simple add it in the manifest and will work on all android version ?
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|layoutDirection"
cheers!
No need of any additional coding, simply add this line
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
in your AndroidManifest.xml's activity section.
