The XML code is given below.
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
  2. <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout  
  3.  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
  4.     xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"  
  5.     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
  6.     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
  7.     android:layout_height="match_parent"  
  8.     android:background="@drawable/s"  
  9.     tools:context="abu.musicplayer.MainActivity">  
  10.   
  11.     <SeekBar  
  12.   
  13.         android:id="@+id/ss"  
  14.         android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
  15.         android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
  16.         tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="265dp"  
  17.         tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp" />  
  18.   
  19.     <Button android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
  20.   
  21.         android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
  22.         android:id="@+id/bb"  
  23.         android:layout_below="@+id/ss"  
  24.         android:layout_alignRight="@+id/ss"  
  25.         android:text="Play"  
  26.         tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="290dp"  
  27.         tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp" />  
  28.   
  29. </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>  
Step 9
 
Go to Main Activity.java. This Java program is the backend language for Android.

The Java code is given below.
  1. package abu.musicplayer;  
  2. import android.media.MediaPlayer;  
  3. import android.os.Bundle;  
  4. import android.os.Handler;  
  5. import android.app.Activity;  
  6. import android.view.Menu;  
  7. import android.view.MotionEvent;  
  8. import android.view.View;  
  9. import android.view.View.OnClickListener;  
  10. import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;  
  11. import android.widget.Button;  
  12. import android.widget.SeekBar;  
  13. public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {  
  14.     SeekBar ss;  
  15.     Button b;  
  16.     MediaPlayer mp;  
  17.     Handler h1=new Handler();  
  18.     int i=0;  
  19.     @Override  
  20.     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
  21.         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
  22.         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
  23.         ss=(SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.ss);  
  24.         b=(Button)findViewById(R.id.bb);  
  25.         mp=MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.song);  
  26.         ss.setMax(mp.getDuration());  
  27.   
  28.         b.setOnClickListener(this)  
  29.         ss.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {  
  30.             @Override  
  31.             public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {  
  32.                 // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
  33.                 SeekBar s=(SeekBar) v;  
  34.                 mp.seekTo(s.getProgress());  
  35.                 return false;  
  36.             }  
  37.         });  
  38.     }  
  39.   
  40.     @Override  
  41.     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {  
  42.         // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.  
  43.         getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);  
  44.         return true;  
  45.     }  
  46.     @Override  
  47.     public void onClick(View v) {  
  48.         // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
  49.         if (i==0  
  50.         {  
  51.             mp.start();  
  52.           add();  
  53.             b.setText("pause");  
  54.             i++;  
  55.         }  
  56.         else if(i==1)  
  57.         {  
  58.             mp.pause();  
  59.           b.setText("Resume");  
  60.            i++;  
  61.         }  
  62.         else if(i==2)  
  63.         {  
  64.             mp.start();  
  65.             add();  
  66.             b.setText("Pause");  
  67.             i=1;  
  68.         }  
  69.     }  
  70.     public void add()  
  71.     {  
  72.         ss.setProgress(mp.getCurrentPosition());  
  73.         Runnable r1=new Runnable() {  
  74.             @Override  
  75.             public void run() {  
  76.                 // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
  77.                 add();  
  78.             }  
  79.         };  
  80.         h1.postDelayed(r1, 4000);  
  81.     }  
  82.   
  83. }  
Step 10
 
Now, go to the menu bar and click "Make Project" or press ctrl+f9 to debug the error.
