Title Body

I'm using the MediaPlayer class in an app that I'm currently working on. I want to hold on to an instance of the MediaPlayer class for the lifetime of my Activity. I'm releasing the resources from the MediaPlayer class in the onPause() { } method of the activity, however when the activity starts I see the following warning pop up in the LogCat window: W/MediaPlayer-JNI(16795): MediaPlayer finalized without being released Any idea what I'm doing wrong here or how to remove this warning? It doesn't appear to cause any issues and the sound works just fine. I have a bit too much code to post because I wrapped a few objects to allow state to be managed (the MediaPlayer class doesn't currently provide state information), and various other reasons, but the code is pretty much: @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); initialiseSounds(this); } @Override protected void onPause() { soundManager.releaseResources(); } @Override protected void onResume() { initialiseSounds(this); } With this method in my SoundManager class: public void releaseResources() { player.release(); } And in initialiseSounds I'm doing: MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(); player.reset(); player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); AssetFileDescriptor assetFileDescriptor = context.getResources().openRawResourceFd(resourceId); setDataSource(player, assetFileDescriptor); When I want to play the track I do: player.prepare(); player.start(); Appreciate any advice, Thanks,
