You have to store them in a folder. There must be any resource the sqlite entrys refer to, because this is just a database. So storing them in a folder is not a question I think...

And XML is used to define UI Things like the interface. This is because of the Model-View-Controller pattern if you want to know more about that look here

If you safed it in the raw folder(it´s located in the res folder, if you dont have one-> create one) of your project than this should be suitable for you

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound_file_1);
mediaPlayer.start();

If you got it somewhere else this should fit your needs

Uri myUri = Uri.parse("/path/to/file.mp3"); // initialize Uri here
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(), myUri);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.start();

For more informations about MediaPlayer see here and here
