How can I apply a scroll/fling gesture to a VideoView - android-studio

Question

I'm trying to make a scrollable VideoView. I want the scroll gesture of the user to make the videoview progress smoothly. I hope that makes sense.
I've tried to apply an OnTouchListener to the VideoView which then gives the MotionEvent to a GestureDetector and then I've tried overriding the OnScroll method of said GestureDetector. The video progresses but very abruptly and at unregular intervals.
I would be very thankful for any pointer that you could give me. I'm quite new to programming as you can probably tell so don't hesitate to dumb it down.
Here's my code so far, thank you in advance.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
View.OnTouchListener,
GestureDetector.OnGestureListener {
GestureDetector mgestureDetector;
VideoView videoView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mgestureDetector = new GestureDetector(this, this);
videoView = findViewById(R.id.video_view);
String videoPath = "android.resource://" +getPackageName() +"/" + R.raw.video;
Uri uri = Uri.parse(videoPath);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.setOnTouchListener(this);
}
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
mgestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onShowPress(MotionEvent e) {
}
#Override
public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onScroll(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float distanceX, float distanceY) {
videoView.seekTo(videoView.getCurrentPosition() + (int)distanceY);
return false;
}
#Override
public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
}
#Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
return false;
}
}
