Why does my app crash after using MediaPlayer after hitting a button? - android-studio

Question

This is my first post on stack overflow. So my app keeps stopping after I hit a button that should play a censor noise. It just crashes.
I tried looking up various solutions but nothing is coming up.
package com.example.soundbutton;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
Button bleep;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
bleep = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bleep);
final MediaPlayer bleepMP = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.censor);
bleep.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View V) {
bleepMP.start();
}
});
}
}
Below is information after running through and emulator. I am still not too sure what exactly i am looking at. From what i can infer, it would seem as if i am pointing to some null value. I tried initializing the mp value as a null and setting a condition where if it were null, then it would start the onclick.
Here is the information after running in an emulator `code`11/20 14:20:48: Launching 'app' on Pixel XL API 29.
$ adb shell am start -n "com.example.soundbutton/com.example.soundbutton.MainActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
