Error(-19,0) Mediaplayer

I am trying to make an app that plays specific sounds on button click , I got like 100 buttons created statically not in an array or anything , and I assigned the sounds to each button correctly the problem is , after playing a number of buttons it gives me that error my questions are

  1. Any way I could possibly switch to generic code from this mess
  2. Anyway I could stop getting this error and the sounds to continue working on every button whatever the amount of sounds played??

Below is my code :

   package com.example.buttonsdemo;

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

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


       Button messageButton_0 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.akali);
       final MediaPlayer mpButtonClick_0= MediaPlayer.create(this,R.raw.akali) ;
       messageButton_0.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

           @Override
           public void onClick(View arg0) {

              mpButtonClick_0.start();
              if(!mpButtonClick_0.isPlaying()){
                 mpButtonClick_0.stop();
                 mpButtonClick_0.release();
              }

     }  
});

And it goes on like this for 100 more buttons or so any help plz

From the error messages, it is clear that a start on MediaPlayer is called when the same is in error state. From your messages,

03-04 16:21:21.925: E/MediaPlayer(5769): stop called in state 0

State 0 corresponds to MEDIA_PLAYER_STATE_ERROR

03-04 16:21:21.925: E/MediaPlayer(5769): error (-38, 0)

The error no. -38 corresponds to INVALID_OPERATION from MediaPlayer::start. Please note that INVALID_OPERATION is set to -ENOSYS which is -38 from errno.h.

You may have to investigate why your MediaPlayer is in an erroneous state.

You need to look at the documentation of MediaPlayer.start and the State Diagram.

You probably are calling the MediPlayer while it's in one of the invalid states ({Idle, Initialized, Stopped, Error}), which would cause the exception.
