Every time I pause my activity (actually Fragment) to go to another app, upon returning with onResume I try to resume the video playing but it does not play: I get a blank screen. Upon investigation, I see the following in the Logcat
E/BufferQueueProducer: [unnamed-23827-0] queueBuffer: BufferQueue has been abandoned
E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
E/BufferQueueProducer: [unnamed-23827-0] connect(P): BufferQueue has been abandoned
Here is the code I call inside on resume
player.seekTo(mVideoSeekPosition);
player.start();
FYI: I have been trying to apply this answer to my case, but I can't: What can I do when the BufferQueue has been abandoned?
UPDATE
I struggled to go it alone, but I am still crashing. So I am posting the whole code for help

right before the seek portion it still didn't work. Plus I tried a few other stuff. – Nittygritty
