title: Check if Android MediaPlayer has been initialized
body: <p>How does one check if a <code>MediaPlayer</code> object has been initialized? Is there something like a:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MediaPlayer mp;
  if(mp.isInitialized())
      Log.v("Test", "mp has been initialized. :D ");
  else
      Log.v("Test", "mp is NOT yet initialized. :( ");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Of course, I checked the API Documentation and there isn't a method like that, but is there a similar approach?</p>
  
  <p>I'm considering just going through my code and just catching the thrown <code>Exception</code> if it ever triggers, but I find that unelegant. :P</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>My code was intended to go through like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MediaPlayer mp;
  
  // Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing...
  
  if(mp.isInitialized)
  {
      mp.stop();
  }
  </code></pre>
