Subtitles are not displaying the when seek to backward in videoview

AudioRecorder App crashes when I record a second time

My app breaks down when I attempt to record a second a time when I hit the stop button. I went through this code several times. I can't find the problem. I'm not sure if its my MediaRecorder or my MediaPlayer. It works the first time around. But not the second time. can anyone find the problem.

Here is my logCat:

I figured out the issue. In the beginRecording method, I have an if and else statement that handles the output file. Unfortunately, the code that I had in the else statement was something that I wanted to always run no matter what.

Media Recorder record application audio

Why are you releasing the recorder to start out with? Releasing should only be used if you don't want to access the recorder anymore. Try moving the release to the end.

Android audio delay

I have a problem when playing an mp3 in android, is something like a delay or a lag, ex:
if I have to reproduce the following: "Hello, how are you?", it only plays "how are you?" or says very low the "hello".
It happens in a ViewSonic V220 its a 22" tablet, in most of other devices, it works fine, but is in that one that seems to fail.
Its weird, becouse other apps(like youtube or media player) works fine.
This is my code, maybe i am doing something wrong:
public class SoundManager implements MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener, MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener {
private Parent mParent;
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
String[] mp3_array;

IllegalStateException, IOException {
mp3_array = url;
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.reset();
}
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url[0]);
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
}
public void stopMediaPlayer() {
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
mp3_array = null;
counter = 0;
}
}

mp.reset();
mp.setOnCompletionListener(this);
mp.setOnPreparedListener(this);
counter += 1;
mp.setDataSource(mp3_array[counter]);
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} else {

mParent.invokeJs("playSoundEnded()");
mp.release();
mp = null;
mp3_array = null;
