Stopping media player before playing next audio

I am having a listview in my app. Each listview item has button which will play an audio from a url received from web service. But my problem is that if I click play button from the next item then both start playing together. I am having problem in this. I want only one to play at a time. Right now I am creating new Media player object everytime button is clicked, but I also tried creating a single global object but in this case it only plays first time and not after it. What is the possible solution of it.
finalHolder.iv_sound.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(birdsUrlList.get(position).getUrl_audio());
mp.prepare();
mp.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
#Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.start();
}
});
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.release();
}
});
//startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(birdsUrlList.get(position).getUrl_video())));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});

Make the mp variable global and remove this:
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.release();
}
});
because if you take a look at this reference http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#StateDiagram it says:
Once the MediaPlayer object is in the End state, it can no longer be
used and there is no way to bring it back to any other state.
And when you call mp.release(); the media player WILL go to that state.
Then make your onClickListener look something like this:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
if (mp.isPlaying()) {
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
}
mp.setDataSource(birdsUrlList.get(position).getUrl_audio());
//... and so on
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.stop();
mp.reset();
}
});
The trick there is to make it back to Idle state so you can set the new data source and start playing again. It's all about the states...

Text Changes back to original when sound is finished playing?

I've created this simple soundboard app which plays a sound on click. I've also setup so that the text changes when the button is hit but is there anyway for the text to change back to its original when the sound file is finished playing
Thanks in advance!
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final Button aussi = (Button) findViewById(R.id.aussi);
aussi.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(aussi.getText().toString().equals("Australian")){
try{
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
aussi.setText("Jay");
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this,
R.raw.aussi);
mediaPlayer.start();
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer play) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
play.release();
}
});
}
}
});

You got the solution by yourself, the completion listener tells you when the sound finishes playing. so :
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer play) {
play.release();
// Now you can set you text
aussi.setText("your original text");
}
});

How to play audio and wait to finish to countinue to play again?

How to play audio and wait to finish to countinue to play again?? . In this i can play so many time :D
ivSelect.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// Toast.makeText(context, "Hello", 1000).show();
mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, sound);
if (mMediaPlayer.isPlaying() == false) {
mMediaPlayer.start();
mMediaPlayer
.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
mp.release();
};
});
}
}
});

The code is working fine for every button click. If you wish the audio to be repeated automatically, use
mMediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
If you wish that when Ist sound is completely played then, second one should start on a button click,
try disabling ur button click while the first sound is playing and then enable the click onCompleteListener... Some thing like this:
ivSelect.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// Toast.makeText(context, "Hello", 1000).show();
mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, sound);
ivSelect.setClickable(false); //Disabling the button click
mMediaPlayer.start();
}
Enable click on Audio completion
mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener()
{
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp)
{
ivSelect.setClickable(true);
}
});

Try this
if(mMediaPlayer.isPlaying()){
mMediaPlayer.stop();
mMediaPlayer.release();
}

Pausing issue while looping a music for x number of times

Everything works perfectly, only problem is pausing. I wanted to repeat some long media for 5 times and also I wanted to pause the media in-between whenever I need.
But when I press pause/play button the playsound(); method is called again and again so the music plays more than 5 time.
This is my code
ImageButton bv.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(mp.isPlaying()){
mp.pause();
bv.setImageResource(R.drawable.play);
} else {
bv.setImageResource(R.drawable.pause);
playsound();
}
}
});
public void playsound() {
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
int count = 1;
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(count < 5) {
count++;
mp.start();
mp.seekTo(0);
}
}
}); mp.start();
}
Any idea how to fix this?

OnCompletion listener with MediaPlayer

How do i use the OnCompletion listener for some music?
I would like to press a button to go to another activity that plays some music and then goes back when the music playback is finished. I allready coded the other stuff. I just cant figure out how to use the OnCompletion listener?

You should put the code that should be run when the music is completed in the OnCompletionListener, for example:
mPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
finish(); // finish current activity
}
});

mPlayer.setOnErrorListener(new OnErrorListener() {
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer paramMediaPlayer, int paramInt1,int paramInt2) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//your code if any error occurs while playing even you can show an alert to user
return true;
}
});
mPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//your code if the file was completely played either show an alert to user or start another activity or file.
//even you can finish you activity here
}
});

I find that above are correct however I was struggling on where to place the code.
See below, i place this code after my code to start the tune!
playButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mediaPlayer.start(); //Next line is the beginning of where to place the code.
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "I'm Finished", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
});

here is the kotlin version of setOnCompletionListener :
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener { it // this is MediaPlayer type
Log.d(TAG,"setOnCompletionListener OnCompletionListener called")
// do other task
})
