How not to start the video playback immediately?
<p>I am creating a surface holder for displaying my video and creating the mediaplayer instance as well. My question is -
How to display the first frame on the surfaceView and then provide a button for the user to click that starts the actual playback of the video?</p>

<p>Currently, my screen is totally black before the user presses the button that calls mediaplayerinstance.start(). I would rather have a frame there instead of nothing.</p>

<p>Is this possible to achieve? seekTo to the first 1 sec of the video content does not help. I don't see the frame at the 1st sec until start() is invoked.</p>

<p>TIA.</p>
