android使用 mediaPlayer 播放video視頻過程中, 當用戶退出當前播放，再從後臺恢復播放時，需要跳轉到之前退出的時間點繼續播放。使用的方法基本都是 SeekTo 之前的時間點，但是經常遇到恢復播放時位置不準的問題，而且甚至有重頭開始播放的現象。這個是因為SeekTo是回到上一時間點附近的關鍵幀導致的。

針對這個問題，在最新的android 8.0平臺上，已經有了新的解決方案：

SeekTo() 方法在android O 平臺新增了一個多參數的方法：

void seekTo（long msec, @SeekMode int mode）

這裏的Mode 傳入

int SEEK_CLOSEST = 0x03 

就不會出現播放視頻位置不準確的現象了。
