I want to create a soundboard, so when you click on button it plays the sound.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.akali);

    Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.akaliJokeButton);
    b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {


        public void onClick(View v) {
            MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(Akali.this, R.raw.akalijoke);
            mp.start();
        }
    });

}

That is my code that I have so far. But I get a no pointer exception error
