  • When rotated, on resume is called, starting again. Or you prohibit this to happen or you know realtime the playing position (in h:m:s) and, when onresume is called, you jump to the last recorded position. – statosdotcom Feb 17 '19 at 13:42

Add this code to your AndroidManifest file:

<activity
    android:name="YOUR_ACTIVITY_NAME"
    android:configChanges="screenSize|orientation|keyboardHidden"
/>
