How to combine play & pause button into a single button

Here I have 2 buttons for the audio controller, play and pause. How can I combine both buttons into one? I also need the image icon to change as well.

In onCreate, I have initially disabled Pause button.

pauseButton.setEnabled(false);

Below is the implementation for Play button.

public void play(View view){
mediaPlayer.start();
...
pauseButton.setEnabled(true);
playButton.setEnabled(false);
}

Below is the implementation for Pause button.

public void pause(View view){
mediaPlayer.pause();
pauseButton.setEnabled(false);
playButton.setEnabled(true);
}

You can do this by 2 ways :
1. Take a frame layout and put two buttons overlapping each other (by default set visible to play button and hide the pause button) and set visibility according to it like

public void play(View view) {
    if(pauseButton.isVisible()) {
        pauseButton.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }
    playButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}

public void pause(View view) {
    if(playButton.isVisible()) {
        playButton.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }
    pauseButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}


2. You can take only one button and change it backgroundResource (by default set background resource play) like

public void play(View view) {
    Button.setBackgroundResourec(R.drawable.pause);
}

public void pause(View view) {
    Button.setBackgroundResourec(R.drawable.play);
}

Make a single button and take a flag as

Boolean buttonflag=true;//initially true

Suppose true means play and false will mean pause.

public void button(View view)
{
  if(buttonflag)//when true play
  {
   mediaPlayer.play();
   buttonflag=false;//set to false so that on next click else will work
  }
  else//when false pause
  {
   mediaPlayer.pause();
   buttonflag=true;//set to true so that on next click if will work
  }
}

MediaPlayer m1 = null;

    playAndStopButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
    stopPlaying();
    m1=MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, R.raw.sound1);
    m1.start();
    }
});   

private void stopPlaying() {
     if (mp1 != null) {
        m1.stop();
        m1.release();
        m1 = null;
}

This should work for you! Good luck.
