Android Media Player play/pause Button

Question

In my project, I am playing music file in android media player by using the following code

MediaPlayer mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(MyActivity.this, R.raw.myfile); mPlayer.start(); 

the above is coded in the onclick of the play button. I want to pause the playback by clicking the same button again.ie) single button for play/pause. How shall i do this.

You could use simple if-check to handle the pausing. Try this:

if(mPlayer.isPlaying()){     mPlayer.pause(); } else {     mPlayer.start(); }
