I have 2 activities lets say A and B. In the first one(A) I am choosing my listview and in the second one I am listing this listview (radio stations) and using a media player I am playing from this listview.
What I am trying to do is, while listening the radio station in the second activity(B), I want to go back to the previous activity and choose the other listview and update the listview of Activity B.
Simply I am trying to go back from activity B to A. But I cannot. When I press the back button of the emulator it gave me errors. I am also trying to make a back button my self. Same purpose but just one in the app.
Could you please help me, what was I doing wrong? Because in my previous apps back button and home button was functioning properly without doing anything. In this one neither of them functioning. I am using 2.2 SDK

The stack trace says that
playeris null.You apparently only initialize
playerfor the case wheremediaTypeis 2. Otherwise, you’re initializingaacPlayer.So, you need a null check on
player. Or, refactor your code to encapsulate the existence of two different media players.
