I have a fragment that contains a VideoView and a playlist of videos. It allows the user to click the videos in the playlist to swap the content of the VideoView. It also allows the user seek around each of the videos. It is not feasible to post the entire code here, but I am trying to narrow the issue down so that I can add a sample.
I am finding that if I rapidly change the source of the VideoView and seek in the VideoView, I am getting an IllegalStateException:

As you can see there is no reference to any of my code. If I perform the same actions slowly, I don't seem to have the same issue. From reading questions like:
IllegalStateException calling MediaPlayer.reset()
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#Valid_and_Invalid_States
I assume I am performing an action when the player is in an invalid state, but I don't know what that action is. I have a MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener set on the VideoView, but I don't see any errors in the logs. I don't call reset or release on the VideoView at any point.
I initialise the player with:
localPlayerVideoView = (VideoView) view.findViewById(R.id.player)
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(getActivity());
mediaController.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mediaController.setAnchorView(localPlayerVideoView);
localPlayerVideoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
localPlayerVideoView.setVideoPath(file.getAbsolutePath());
localPlayerVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(localOnPreparedListener);
localPlayerVideoView.setOnErrorListener(localOnErrorListener);
localPlayerVideoView.setOnInfoListener(localOnInfoListener);
localPlayerVideoView.requestFocus();
On prepared:
localPlayerVideoView.seekTo(time);
localPlayerVideoView.start();
Swapping videos:
localPlayerVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(null);
localPlayerVideoView.setPlayPauseListener(null);
localPlayerVideoView.suspend();
localPlayerVideoView.setVideoPath(file.getAbsolutePath());
localPlayerVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(localOnPreparedListener);
localPlayerVideoView.setPlayPauseListener(localPlayPauseListener);
localPlayerVideoView.requestFocus();
Seek in video:
localPlayerVideoView.seekTo(time);
localPlayerVideoView.pause();
Just before the crash happens I have logged that these are the VideoView functions I call:
setOnPreparedListener(null)
setPlayPauseListener(null)
suspend
setVideoPath
setOnPreparedListener
setPlayPauseListener
requestFocus
onPrepared
onPlaying
getCurrentPosition

getCurrentPosition

How might I track down this error?
