Answer 1

I have a similar problem, and i solved it changing:

 MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(getActivity().getApplicationContext());

to this (In a fragmet):

 MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(getActivity());

Hope this helps,...

Answer 2

If hardware acceleration fixes your issue then I would enable it for that view/window on that device.

In general I've found that when code works on one device but not another it is typically caused by one of the following problems:

1. Bug in the manufacturer's API implementation
2. Different interpretation of the API by the manufacturer
3. Concurrency problem (e.g. race condition, improper synchronization) in your own code that happens to trigger more frequently on a particular device

As far as I can tell you seem to be using the UI thread appropriately so I would imagine your issue falls into one of the first two categories and you'll just need to work around it.

Answer 3

Move MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(getActivity()) from onResume() to onCreateView.
