the code of my Kalma2.java is

package com.kalmas;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class Kalma2 extends Activity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        final MediaPlayer   kalma2  =   MediaPlayer.create(this,   R.raw.kalma2);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.kalma2);

    ImageView prev2 =   (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.prev2);

    prev2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            kalma2.stop();
            startActivity(new Intent(Kalma2.this,Kalma1.class));
        }
    });

    ImageView   next2   =   (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.next2);
    next2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            kalma2.stop();
            startActivity(new Intent(Kalma2.this,Kalma3.class));
        }
    });

    ImageView pause =   (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.pause2);
    pause.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            kalma2.pause();
        }
    });

    ImageView play  =   (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.play2);
    play.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            kalma2.start();
        }
    });

    ImageView kalma =   (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.kalma2);

    kalma.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            kalma2.start();
        }
    });



}

As far as I can tell, on line 52 you try to attach a click listener to an ImageView.

ImageView play  =   (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.play2);
play.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { ...

Are you sure your layout contains an ImageView with id play2? Would be nice to have the code for kalma2.xml too 🙂
