For Play Video

private void playPlayer() {
    if (player != null) {
        player.setPlayWhenReady(true);
    }
}

For Pause Video

private void pausePlayer() {
    if (player != null) {
        player.setPlayWhenReady(false);
    }
}

From Specific Position

private void seekTo(long positionInMS) {
    if (player != null) {
        player.seekTo(positionInMS);
    }
}

Relase Player

private void releasePlayer() {
    if (player != null) {
        player.release();
    }
}
