Android MediaPlayer can't play web media:Prepare failed.: status=0x1

问题

I want to play a song from web service, and I wrote code as follow

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.content);

    startButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.start);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    mp3Path = intent.getStringExtra("mp3Path");

    player = new MediaPlayer();

    startButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            try {
                if(player != null)
                    player.stop();
                player.setDataSource(mp3Path);
                player.prepare();
                player.start();
            } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
}

But when I click that button, it throws the following exception and I'm told there are errors about prepare:

04-13 17:23:13.186: E/MediaPlayer(401): stop called in state 1
04-13 17:23:13.186: E/MediaPlayer(401): error (-38, 0)
