Question

In YouTube Player API when I press fullscreen it repeats the video from the beginning ,any help to solve this problem

Also when I lock my phone (sleep mode) it stop playing , I want it to resume.

Answer 1

• If you add fullscreen, orientation flags to your AndroidManifest it won't. Basically by default, it recreates the activity, hence restarts.

  <activity
      android:name="MyActivity"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" >
  

• YouTube prohibits running videos in sleep mode, or in background. It's clear in YouTube TOS. Hence there won't be any APIs and doing workarounds will be against the TOS.
