MediaPlayer pause doesnt work in android

I use the following code to pause the play of an audio file. but it doesn't pause. What is wrong with the code. Any suggesstion...

boolean play=false;
int flag=0;
mPlay.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {


        public void onClick(View v) {

            mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
            if(play==false)
            {
                flag++;
                if(flag==1)
                {
                    playAudio();
                }

                else
                {
                    mPlayer.start();
                }
     开发者_运维知识库           mPlay.setText("Pause");
                play=true;
            }
            else if(play==true)
            {
                mPlayer.pause();
                mPlay.setText("Play");
                play=false;
            }
            mPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {

                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    play=false;
                    flag=0;
                }
            });

Problem lays here: mPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); You're initializing your player on every click, so what you're trying to pause is a completely new player that cannot be paused, cause it doesn't play. You must initialize the player outside of onClick method.
