How to stop a music and play again in Android?

I am trying to write a simple Android MediaPlayer code. I am facing an issue while stopping a song and restart again. In each button click. Otherwise , if i wont stop the track then , in each button click the song is not playing , it wait until the songs stops.

My requirement is , in each button click the song should start from the beginning.

MyCode:

package com.example.musicexample;

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

   Button btnPlay;
   MediaPlayer mPlayer;


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

     btnPlay = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPlay);

     mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.a);

     btnPlay.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {

            if(mPlayer.isPlaying()){
                mPlayer.stop();
                mPlayer.reset();
            }

            mPlayer.start();
        }
    });
} }

In the above code , the song plays once then , it won't play again.

So please go through it , please let me know , how can i stop the track if the song is playing and then restart it from beginning.

You can try this:

MediaPlayer m1 = null;

        play1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

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

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

You are calling the reset() method which returns the MediaPlayer to its un-initialized state.

Resets the MediaPlayer to its uninitialized state.

You will have to set the source of the MediaPlayer once again to get it to play.

Once in the Stopped state, playback cannot be started until prepare() or prepareAsync() are called to set the MediaPlayer object to the Prepared state again.
