mediaPlayer doesn't play

Question

I am trying to build a splash screen with music in the background, but the music doesn't play.

Here is my code:

    package com.example.thebasicseries;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;  

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
    MediaPlayer logoMusic;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash);

        logoMusic = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this,R.raw.techno );
        Thread logoTimer = new Thread(){
            public void run(){
                try{
                    sleep(5000);
                    Intent menuIntent = new Intent("com.example.thebasicseries.MENU");
                    startActivity(menuIntent);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                finally{
                    finish();
                }
            }

        };
        logoTimer.start();
        logoMusic.release();
    }

There isn't any error message showing before or after running the app.

You need logoMusic.play() to play music. I only see create and release. — Wildroid, Nov 14 '14 at 13:59
there is not .play() as i tried. it was working before but i don't understand why it is stop working, maybe because i've been playing around the code. — jass, Nov 14 '14 at 14:04
I suggest you use AsyncTask for background music playing in its own thread - see this sample [link](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16338215/4123144) — Wildroid, Nov 14 '14 at 14:15

LOL, you created the MP :

logoMusic = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this,R.raw.techno );

But never play it :

logoMusic.play();
