MediaRecorder Unexpected Error

I've been trying to create a recorder object that starts and stops on a button press.

public class TalkActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    MediaRecorder recorder;
    boolean active = false;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_talk);
    }

    public void testPressed(View view) {
        if (active == false) {
            recorder = new MediaRecorder();
            recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
            recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
            recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
            recorder.setOutputFile(getFilesDir().getPath() + "file.3gp");
            recorder.start();
        }

        else {
            recorder.stop();
        }
    }
}

I've set the onClick listener to the testPressed method in my button XML but I get an errors:

Please help me resolve this error. I have no idea what is the cause. I've granted permission in my manifest file, and it may be helpful to know that I am using the emulator in Android Studio with audio input enabled.
