Android media player returns IllegalStateException

Question

I have following code to play small audio files

private void playVoice() {

     if (mPlayVoice != null) {
         if (mPlayVoice.isPlaying()) {
                    


        

Answer 1

Use the following code as i was facing the same exception.

try {
    if(mPlayVoice!=null && mPlayVoice.isPlaying()) {
        Log.d("TAG------->", "player is running");
        mPlayVoice.stop();
        Log.d("Tag------->", "player is stopped");
        mPlayVoice.release();
        Log.d("TAG------->", "player is released");
    }
} catch(Exception e){
}

Here write whatever you want to do. Actually the condition checking like isPlaying() or checking for null generates the IllegalStateException.....
