Lag between two sound "Mediaplayer" android

I want to play two sounds. I'm using this code but there's lag between the two sounds for about 2s. I want to play the second directly when the first sound is finished. How can I do that? 

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(),R.raw.s83); 
mp.start();
mp.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
    public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp2){   
        mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(),R.raw.ss); 
        mp2.start();
    }
});

Android 4.1 (v16) adds MediaPlayer.setNextMediaPlayer which was added to allow gapless playing as per the feature list. Prior to that, there is always a small delay between onCompletion and starting another MediaPlayer due to buffering. Creating the second MediaPlayer before onCompletion might help as well (and would be required for using setNextMediaPlayer anyways).

Try this:

Make mp2 a MediaPlayer class field and then use this code:

mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(),R.raw.ss); 
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(),R.raw.s83); 
mp.start();

mp.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
    public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp){   
        YourActivityClass.this.mp2.start();
    }
});

It will at least create the second MediaPlayer object and prepare() before the first sound is played, so you gain some time there.
