How to start MediaPlayer after it has been stopped in android
<p>I am new to Android and in my app I am working with <code>MediaPlayer</code>.</p>

<p>When I first tap the start button, the song plays, but when I tap the stop button and then I tap on the start button again, the song does not start playing again. Here's what I have so far:</p>

<pre><code>public class PlayngUrlFiles extends AppCompatActivity {

    Button start, pause, stop;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.playingurls_layout);

        start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        pause = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
        stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);

        final MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();

        try {
            mp.setDataSource("http://programmerguru.com/android-tutorial/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hosannatelugu.mp3");
            mp.prepare();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mp.start();
            }
        });
        pause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mp.pause();
            }
        });
        stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mp.stop();
            }
        });
    }
}
</code></pre>
