Can anyone tell me how to stop media player that was started in a previous activity?

For ex. In activity-1 button pressed that did - mp.start(); then activity-2 starts for different layout with new buttons, then when button pressed, mp.stop is called, but does not stop the media from the first activity.

Thanks in advance.

The mp in your new activity is an entirely different object than in Activity 1. You could possibly send an intent from Activity 2 to Activity 1, have Activity 1 call mp.stop and pass an intent right back to Activity 2.

The best way, AFAIK however, would be to make your mediaplayer a separate Service and then all of your activities can call upon it.
