Dear Kirwan, I'm developing a video player and, like you, I've had the need to implement a fullscreen mode. I've also faced a similar problem and, as a workaround, I've tried to reinitialize the player when the surface turns black (no video, but sound countinues playing).
On every surfaceDestroyed I call mediaPlayer.release() and then, when the surface is recreated, I reinstantiate the media player, prepare it and call the start method again. When not playing online streamming, you can also save the video position before the release() call and seek to such position on the reinstantiation. The only problem in this approach is that there's a small delay between the the mediaPlayer.release() and the reinstantiation. That's worse when playing streaming, because the client needs to reconnect with the server. Best regards.
