Question

I have this problem, I have some audio I wish to play…

And I have two buttons for it, ‘Play’ and ‘Stop’…

Problem is, after I press the stop button, and then press the Play button, nothing happens. -The stop button stops the song, but I want the Play button to play the song again (from the start) Here is my code:

final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.megadeth);

And then the two public onclicks:

(For playing…)

 button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // Perform action on click
             button.setText("Playing!");
             try {
     mp.prepare();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     e.printStackTrace();
    }
             mp.start();
             //
            }
        });

And for stopping the track…

    final Button button2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cancel);
    button2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {

         mp.stop();
         mp.reset();

        }
    });

Can anyone see the problem with this? If so could you please fix it… (For suggest)

Thanks alot…

Answer 1

You need to call prepare() or preparAsync() before start().

See the API for details (look at the state diagram).
