Unfortunately prog stopped

[Davemar]

The following program to play an MP3 loads, but stops in emulator. Not even UI displayed.
No error is indicated in Eclipse. If I run it without the button, it plays.
Do you have any idea what is wrong, and how to fix it?

************************
package com.example.mp3_trial;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity
{

private Button mPlay;
final MediaPlayer medp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.badbill);

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle)
{
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mPlay = (Button) findViewById(R.id.play);

/** If I put this here instead of above, Eclipse says medp is not used.
MediaPlayer medp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.badbill);
*/

mPlay.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View view)
{
medp.start();
}
});
} //bundle
} //class

This is the configuration that plays.

package com.example.playmp3;

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

MediaPlayer medp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.badbill);
medp.start();
} //bundle
} //class

Never mind, guys ... I tried this and it works.
Now all I have to do is add pause, resume, stop, whatever buttons.
