Android Media Player Restart Audio After Calling Stop

I'm able to stream audio and stop it without any problem, but when I try to start it again after stop, it doesn't start and I get an IllegalState exception.

Here is what I'm doing:

Start Playing

mediaPlayer.setDataSource(PATH);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.start();

Stop Playing

mediaPlayer.stop

Now, if I want to start playing again the same media, what will I have to do?

*PATH is the URL of a continuous running radio station.

Solution

  • Add this:

    mp.reset();
mp.setDataSource(MEDIA_PATH);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();
