Error when trying to play sound

I tried to build a button that on click plays a sound.

Below is my code. When I click the button I get Error (-19, 0).

What does it mean?

public void onClick(View v) {

    MediaPlayer click = MediaPlayer.create(Timer.this, R.raw.click);
        click.start();

        }
    });

well to do that...its better to make a new folder called raw inside the resource folder and copy the sound clip there. then add the following under onClick if u wanna play sound on click of a button: 

public void onClick(View v) {
ourSong = MediaPlayer.create(Incoming.this, R.raw.abcd); 
ourSong.start(); //where abcd is ur sound file and Incoming is ur java class

where u need to define MediaPlayer ourSong; like this:

public class Incoming extends Activity{
MediaPlayer ourSong;

It's better to use Soundpool for little sounds like a click. Watch this video: http://thenewboston.org/watch.php?cat=6&number=79

Playing sounds with MediaPlayer isn't a good idea. you should consider using the SoundPool take a look at the SoundPool's documentation
