VideoView restarting when keyboard event occurs

I have a login screen which has an animated background.
However, I've noticed a problem where when I click on my input fields and the keyboard pops up, the animation restarts itself and this is really jarring.
I've tried modifying the android:configchanges in the Manifest by adding "orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" and that has had no effect.
I've also tried to override the VideoView methods, as you can see in my code.
From what I understand the activity gets destroyed when the keyboard pops up and this results in the restart, but I can't see the fix and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my code:
MainActivity.Java
activity_main.xml

try this code,
public class MTestActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private VideoView videoviews;
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_mtest);
initUI();
}
private void initUI(){
try{
videoviews = findViewById(R.id.videoviews);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.introducation);
videoviews.setVideoURI(uri);
videoviews.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
videoviews.start();
}
});
}catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
MTag ="onResume";
Log.v(Tag,MTag);
videoviews.start();
}}

My android App stop playing sound on button tap after some time

Hello there, i have just created a basic android app which plays different musics on button tap..
The app just worked fine for the first couple of seconds but when i just keep on tapping and tapping , at some point it stops playing the music and just crashed...
I am unable to figure out what the problem is ..Please help me make it work..
Thanks.
Here is my code :-
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
public void PlayMusic(View view)
{
int ID = view.getId();
String NameID = view.getResources().getResourceEntryName(ID);
int sound= getResources().getIdentifier(NameID,"raw","com.example.pickachu.mypatatap");
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this,sound);
mediaPlayer.start();
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}

The sound is not playing after multiple taps because you must be getting IllegalStateException because you are not releasing the Mediaplayer object and Mediaplayer Lifecycles are not managed properly when you tap multiple times.
You can use setOnCompletionListener(MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener listener) to release mediaPlayer after completion of sound as:
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this,sound);
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.reset();
mp.release();
mediaplayer = null;
}
});
mediaPlayer.start();

pass uri instead string
mediaPlayer= MediaPlayer.create(this, Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+ "/Music/music.mp3"));
mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
mpintro.start();

How to stop a MediaPlayer using a button

The code I have so far is:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public void SoundPlayer(View view) {
MediaPlayer soundMediaPlayer1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.gun_sound);
soundMediaPlayer1.start();
}
public void DogSound(View view) {
MediaPlayer soundMediaPlayer2 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.cat_sound);
soundMediaPlayer2.start();
}
public void NewSound(View view) {
MediaPlayer soundMediaPlayer3 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.new_sound);
soundMediaPlayer3.start();
}
public void LaughTrack(View view) {
MediaPlayer soundMediaPlayer12 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.laugh_sound);
soundMediaPlayer12.start();
}
public void HorseSound(View view) {
MediaPlayer soundMediaPlayer4 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.horse_sound);
soundMediaPlayer4.start();
}
public void HeySound(View view) {
MediaPlayer soundMediaPlayer5 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.hey_sound);
soundMediaPlayer5.start();
}
private void Stop() {
startActivity(new Intent(this, MainActivity.class));
}
public void stop(View view) {
Stop();
}
}
The problem I face is that all the sounds overlaps and plays. I have a STOP button set up, but have no idea has to how to make it stops the media. Any feedback is helpful.
Thank you.

First of all, I would use only one Instance of the MediaPlayer. You can then use mediaPlayer.stop() to stop a sound and prepare the next one.
See the state diagram on https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html

1) Make the object of MediaPlayer in onCreate method don't create in every new method.
2) Before playing the music in another method first use stop() function to stop current playing sound(like mediaPlayer.stop(); ) then play the sound by start().

}
});
}

Make an singleton class and add you music playing code into it for stopping and starting and use that singleton class in all your 2 activities for eg:
public class MusicManager {
private static MusicManager refrence = null;
public static MusicManager getInstance(){
if(refrence == null){
refrence = new MusicManager ();
}
return refrence;
}
}
Add a public method to this singleton class to start and stop music
public void initalizeMediaPlayer(Context context, int musicId){
// add initalization of media player in it and loop it
MediaPlayer bkgrdmsc;
bkgrdmsc = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.song);
bkgrdmsc.setLooping(true);
}
public void startPlaying(){
bkgrdmsc.start();
}
public void stopPlaying(){
bkgrdmsc.stop();
}
//Add stuff like pausing and resuming if you desire
To use this class add this to any activity you want to play music:
MusicManager.getInstance().initalizeMediaPlayer(this, R.raw.menu); // to initalize of media player
MusicManager.getInstance().startPlaying();// to start playing music
MusicManager.getInstance().stopPlaying(); // to stop playing music
You can also use service to perform this task as service runs in background. You can start and stop service any time in your code.
