My android App stop playing sound on button tap after some time

Question

Hello there, i have just created a basic android app which plays different musics on button tap.. The app just worked fine for the first couple of seconds but when i just keep on tapping and tapping , at some point it stops playing the music and just crashed... I am unable to figure out what the problem is ..Please help me make it work.. Thanks. Here is my code :-

 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

public void PlayMusic(View view)
{
int ID = view.getId();
String NameID = view.getResources().getResourceEntryName(ID);
int sound= getResources().getIdentifier(NameID,"raw","com.example.pickachu.mypatatap");
mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this,sound);
mediaPlayer.start();
}

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

Answer 1

pass uri instead string

mediaPlayer= MediaPlayer.create(this, Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()+ "/Music/music.mp3"));
mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
        mpintro.start();

Answer 2

The sound is not playing after multiple taps because you must be getting IllegalStateException because you are not releasing the Mediaplayer object and Mediaplayer Lifecycles are not managed properly when you tap multiple times.

You can use setOnCompletionListener(MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener listener) to release mediaPlayer after completion of sound as:

mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this,sound);
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
                mp.reset();
                mp.release();
                mediaplayer = null;
            }
        });
mediaPlayer.start();
