App is crashing when I click on a Song in List

Question

The song should play in another intent so I am passing Uri in intent and playing in another activity . But as soon as I click on a song App crashes. Help

In MainActivity.java -

@Override
public void itemClicked(View view, int position) {

    Intent intent = new Intent(this,playSong.class);
    songData playSong  = songList.get(position);
    long currSong  =  playSong.getID();
    Uri songUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,currSong);
    intent.putExtra("songPosition",songUri);
    startActivity(intent);
}

}

In playSong.java -

package com.example.ray.musico_mp3player;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import java.io.IOException;

public class playSong extends AppCompatActivity {

   Uri songUri=null;
   MediaPlayer mediaPlayer=null;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_play_song);
    songUri = getIntent().getParcelableExtra("songPosition");
    mediaPlayer.reset();
    try {
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(),songUri);
        mediaPlayer.prepare();

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    mediaPlayer.start();
  }

 }

Answer 1

Please intialise the media player

public class playSong extends AppCompatActivity {

   Uri songUri=null;
   MediaPlayer mediaPlayer=null;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_play_song);
    songUri = getIntent().getParcelableExtra("songPosition");
   mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer();//Here the change
    mediaPlayer.reset();
    try {
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(),songUri);
        mediaPlayer.prepare();

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    mediaPlayer.start();
  }

 }
