once you call `stop()`, you have to call `prepare()/prepareAsync()` before calling `start()` again – aldrin Jan 24 '14 at 04:38

This is working on my projects, place mediaPlayer.setLooping(true); after mediaPlayer.start();

public static void PlayAudio(Context c, int id){
        mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(c, id);
        soundPool = new SoundPool(4, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,50);
        if (!mediaPlayer.isPlaying())
        {
            isPlayingAudio = true;
            mediaPlayer.start();
            mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
        }
    }

Happy Coding

This one works for me. (written in Kotlin)

 val uri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM)
 var mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, uri)
 mp.isLooping = true
 mp.start()

For stop, you should call your stop() function:

mp.stop()

mediaPlayer.start() for starting the mediaPlayer, mediaPlayer.pause() for pausing the mediaPlayer. For looping the mediaPlayer for number of times then you can use loop:-

for(int i=1;i<=3;i++){
    mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
    i++;
}

Why are you setting this value in a for-loop? – interstar Nov 12 '21 at 17:36
to set the audio in loop according to user's choice, it's just an example not a perfect code. – Nov 13 '21 at 19:50
