Code where I got this error (in this line exactly int currentPosition = mp.getCurrentPosition();

):

mp = new MediaPlayer();
    try {
        mp.prepare();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

Answer 1

you get this error if you call the media planner function and MediaPlayer is in the wrong state. For example, if your MediaPlayer is in Initialized-State, you cannot call start(), so you need to wait while your MediaPlayer is in Prepared-State. Check out StateDiagram at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html

try release() , start() ( prepare() ). PreparedState .
