[android-developers] sound player

So, I wanted to create a simple sound player that will just play a
sound when I touch a button. I created it without errors but it
crashes everytime i run it. I got rid of all the extra code and found
that the error is coming from the media player initialization

public MediaPlayer music = MediaPlayer.create
(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.sound_1);

I believe this is due to my lack of understanding context. i need some
help figuring out what context to put into the first parameter.
thanks in advance
