I'm a complete noob to android programming and don't know anything more than basic xml but I want to get this done. Can you guys please show me how what code to use to play a song on opening the app without any more input from the user?

First create the folder named raw in res/ directory and put your song in raw folder.

write the below code in onCreate()

class song extends Activity {
    MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), R.raw.yoursong);

        mediaPlayer.start();

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mediaPlayer.stop();
        mediaPlayer.release();

    }
}

First of all put the song file in raw folder under res folder. After that in your activity:

public static MediaPlayer splashSound;

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

    splashSound = MediaPlayer.create(SplashScreen.this, R.raw.start_music);
    splashSound.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer splashSound) {
            splashSound.stop();
            splashSound.release();
        });
