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
