Player p becomes null after it has started playing audio

[sanket2612]

Hi,
I am trying to play some audio in a j2me app. I send a request for an audio file, after I recieve the response, I start a player and play the audio file :


ByteArrayInputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(b);


p = Manager.createPlayer(is,"audio/midi");

p.realize();
p.prefetch();
p.start();

The Player p is declared globally.

After the player starts playing the audio, the value of 'p' becomes null.

So, in my 'keyPressed' method :

if (p != null) {
if (p.getState() == Player.STARTED)
{
p.stop();
p.deallocate();
}
} catch ( Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(ex.toString());
}

The control never reaches p.stop, as p is always equal to null.

Is there any other way to control audio in j2me ?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you have not declared any variable or parameter named p in the class which contains the keyPressed method?
