title: Android Media Player Restart Audio After Calling Stop
body: <p>I'm able to stream audio and stop it without any problem, but when I try to start it again after stop, it doesn't start and I get an IllegalState exception.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I'm doing:</p>
  
  <p>Start Playing</p>
  
  <pre><code>mediaPlayer.setDataSource(PATH);
  mediaPlayer.prepare();
  mediaPlayer.start();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Stop Playing</p>
  
  <pre><code>mediaPlayer.stop
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, if I want to start playing again the same media, what will I have to do?</p>
  
  <p>*PATH is the URL of a continuous running radio station.</p>
