Android player reload

Sometimes, if the internet is bad, the player will show error, is there any way to reload it, so I dont need to quit and enter again to reload the video?
Is there any way to auto reload if detecting error?

@Override
public void onError(String message) {
if(message.equals(“YOUR_ERROR_MESSAGE”)){

PlayerConfig config = mPlayerView.getConfig();
// Make any modifications you need to the config then setup
mPlayerView.setup(config);
}
}

Call getPlayer() on the Fragment then use .addOnErrorListener() to the JWPlayerView

How do I reload my playerView?
I used the following code to initialize

PlayerConfig playerConfig = new PlayerConfig.Builder()
.file(playUrl)
.skinUrl("file:///android_assets/vapor.css")
.skinName("vapor")
.autostart(true)
.build();
mPlayerView = new JWPlayerView(getActivity(), playerConfig);
FrameLayout jwPlayerViewContainer = (FrameLayout) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.fragmentContainer);
// Add fragment to layout

jwPlayerViewContainer.addView(mPlayerView);

I’m a bit confused, if you have the fragment, it already contains a player and all you should do is use getPlayer().setup(). Not sure what you’re trying to do in the code above.
