Rather, I misread prachi's answer:( The correct description of what state it must be in is rather different: since setDataSource() IS what moves the MediaPlayer from the Idle to the Initialized state, you should not use create(), you should use prepared(), and in the order prachi said: setDataSource() first, and only after, even immediately after, call prepare(). You will get an illegal state exception if setDataSource() is called in any but the Idle state.
You ARE in the Idle state when you call setDataSource(), aren't you?
