/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // sets the Bundle
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // sets the context
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    myVideoView= (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vview);
       myVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(vSource));
       myVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
       myVideoView.requestFocus();
       myVideoView.start();


}

public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState){

    mStartTime = myVideoView.getCurrentPosition();
    outState.putInt("restartTime", mStartTime);
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
 @Override
    public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
      myInt  = savedInstanceState.getInt("restartTime");

 }

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);


      myVideoView.seekTo(myInt);

      myVideoView.start();


}

You can store the actual progress of your video in onSaveInstanceState (called when the activity is destroyed, like when the screen is rotated), then restore it in onRestoreInstanceState.
