Android MediaRecorder NullPointerException

私はJava開発を始めたばかりで、AndroidMediaレコーダーをいじっています。ただし、次のソースコードを使用して記録ボタンをクリックするNullPointerExceptionが発生します。

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
//import android.net.Uri;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.view.View;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.media.MediaRecorder;
import java.lang.String;


public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
   String outputFile = "test.3gp";
    private MediaRecorder myAudioRecorder;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {


        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        MediaRecorder myAudioRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
        myAudioRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
       // Uri target = Uri.parse(outputFile.getAbsolutePath());
        myAudioRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
        myAudioRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
        myAudioRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.AMR_NB);
        myAudioRecorder.setOutputFile(outputFile);

    }

    public void Start_Record(View v)
    {
        try {
            myAudioRecorder.prepare();
            myAudioRecorder.start();
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        myAudioRecorder.stop();
        myAudioRecorder.release();

    }



    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

これはおそらく塗りつぶしポインタがNULLに設定されているためだと思いますが、これが消えるようにファイル参照を初期化する方法を見つけるのに苦労しています。mediaRecorderPrepare（）で例外が発生します

スローされる例外は次のとおりです。
