MediaPlayer when clicking on other buttons require 2 clicks to play

Question

I have MediaPlayer in GridView with onItemClickListener with cases. I am using only 1 instance of MediaPlayer for all cases/files. But with the code that I have, this happens: I start mp on 1st button. And I want to play 2nd button. What happens, when I click on 2nd button MP stops and then I have to click again to play it. Is there any way to avoid this?

Here is my code:

if (mPlay.isPlaying()) {
                        mPlay.reset();
                    } else {

                        mPlay = MediaPlayer
                                .create(ActivityM.this, R.raw.sound1);

                        mPlay.start();
                    }

Code is same for all Cases, the only difference is file. I also tried with mPlay.stop(); mPlay.Pause(); mPlay.seekTo(0); etc but same thing happened.

Used Switch Case in your onItemClickListener onItemClick(.....) event like

grid.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position,
                long arg3) {
switch(position){

    case 0:
     mPlay = MediaPlayer.create(ActivityM.this, R.raw.sound1);
     break;
    case 1:
     mPlay = MediaPlayer.create(ActivityM.this, R.raw.sound2);
     break;
    case 2:
    mPlay = MediaPlayer.create(ActivityM.this, R.raw.sound3);
     break;
    .... so on
    default:
 break; 
 }
  }
});

Hope this will help you.
