Android stop MediaPlayer

to play song again reset media player, set data source again and start

mp.reset(); mp.setDataSource(MEDIA_PATH); mp.prepare(); mp.start();

You can check this Demo Example Here, i am looping a Audio clicp continously and stopping on Button Cick and playing again.

package com.Test.demo; import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.content.DialogInterface; import android.media.MediaPlayer; import android.os.Build; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.CountDownTimer; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Timer; import java.util.TimerTask; import java.util.concurrent.Executors; import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService; import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledFuture; import static java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.SECONDS; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { Button scan; Button stop; MediaPlayer mp; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); scan=(Button)findViewById(R.id.scan); stop=(Button)findViewById(R.id.stop); mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.trackeralertseparation); scan.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { mp.setLooping(true); mp.start(); mp.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() { @Override public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) { mp.reset(); mp.release(); } }); } }); stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { if(mp.isPlaying()){ mp.stop(); } mp=MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.trackeralertseparation); } }); } }

The Design File is Below with simple Button.

When the play wont work after you hit the stop button... just make your mediaplayer object as an object array that should fix it..

final MediaPlayer[] mediaPlayer = {MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.song_name)}; stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { mediaPlayer[0].stop(); mediaPlayer[0] = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(),R.raw.song_name); } });
