how to stop audio on android application

I want to stop audio when pressing return or back button

public class buttonFour extends Activity{ 

    MediaPlayer mp;

    @Override 
    public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.button4);

        MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.song);
        mp.start(); 
    }
}

I have tried the following:

@Override 
public void onPause () {
    if (mp != null){
        mp.pause();
        mp.stop();   
    }   
    super.onPause(); 
}

but the music keep playing

try to make MediaPlayer object global... this works for me with the Global MediaPlayer object.

and then 

mp.stop();

You are initializing another local MediaPlayer object mp inside onCreate(), thats why the instance variable never gets initialized, and never paused.

Just use the instance variable by replacing the line:

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.song);

with 

mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.song);

Make your MediaPlayer reference a global one.

Then override onBackPressed()

public class buttonFour extends Activity {
MediaPlayer mp;
    @Override
    public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.button4);

        mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.song);
        mp.start();
    }
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed ()
{
  if (mp != null)
    mp.stop();
  super.onBackPressed();
}

Edit, although the above should work, if it isn't you can try something like this:

@Override
public void onPause ()
{
  if (mp != null)
  {
    mp.pause();
    mp.stop();
  }
  super.onPause();
}

However this code will stop playback once the Activity goes off screen or upon a rotation change.
