Android: Exception while playing an mp3 file on a server.

I am trying to get an audio mp3 file from a server and play it on the android app. Here is the code for the function:

protected void managerOfSound(String theText) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
        if (mp != null) {
            mp.reset();
            mp.release();
        }
        URLConnection conn = new URL("http://192.168.1.68:3000/play/song.mp3").openConnection();
        conn.connect();
        InputStream stream = conn.getInputStream();
        File file = File.createTempFile("downloadingMedia", ".mp3");

        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
        int n = - 1;

        OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream( file );
        while ( (n = stream.read(buffer)) != -1)
        {
                if (n > 0)
                {
                        output.write(buffer, 0, n);
                }
        }
        output.close();


        System.out.println("PATH IS" + file.getAbsolutePath());
        mp.setDataSource(file.getAbsolutePath());
        mp.start();
    }

However, I get a nullpointerexception in the line mp.setDataSource. I verified that the file's absolute path exists.

In the server side too, I verified the requests are being received correctly and its a 200 response.

When I open the URL on the browser, I get the download dialog which asks whether to save or download the file.

Where then is it giving the null pointer exception?
