How to stop MediaPlayer onPause() if i declare/start it inside the onButtonClick method?

Question

I am a noob programer and I encountered a problem, I have a mediaplayer.start() inside an onClick method, if i call

mediaplayer.stop(); 
mediaplayer.reset();
mediaplayer.release();

it will crash and get the error:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.media.MediaPlayer.stop()' on a null object reference ".

"Unable to destroy activity {...Activity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException"

Any support is highly appreciated

Just check if the MediaPlayer is null:

if(mediaplayer != null) {
    mediaplayer.stop(); 
    mediaplayer.reset();
    mediaplayer.release();
}

Can you post the lines where you start the sound as well as the definition of the `mediaplayer` variable please? Just edit your question to include the code. – ByteHamster May 05 '15 at 04:29
It worked in the end i just declared the mediaplayer global and public, ty ! – Elidua Razhiel May 05 '15 at 04:52
I assumed that you already defined it public :D Anyway, nice to hear that it works now! :) – ByteHamster May 05 '15 at 04:56
