I am trying to find out why my app does not work as expected. To find out why, I have created a small project with a single Activity where if you press a button, predefined words are supposed to be spoken. I am using a Sony Xperia Compact Android 9. I made some system update lately, can that be a reason?
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
import android.speech.tts.UtteranceProgressListener;
import android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton;
import android.support.design.widget.Snackbar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import java.util.Locale;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private TextToSpeech textToSpeech;
private boolean isInitialized = false;
private MainActivity mainActivity;
int ctr = 0;
private String words[] = {"handboll", "kula", "golf"};
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
mainActivity = this;
textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(this, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
@Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS){
textToSpeech.setOnUtteranceProgressListener(new UtteranceProgressListener() {
@Override
public void onStart(String utteranceId) {
System.out.println("---onStart");
}
@Override
public void onDone(String utteranceId) {
System.out.println("-----onDone");
}
@Override
public void onError(String utteranceId) {
System.out.println("-----onError");
}
@Override
public void onError(String utteranceId, int errorCode){
onError(utteranceId);
System.out.println("Error with code: " + errorCode);
}
});
isInitialized = true;
Locale locale = new Locale("sv");
textToSpeech.setLanguage(locale);
}
}
});
FloatingActionButton fab = findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (isInitialized){
System.out.println(textToSpeech.getLanguage().getDisplayLanguage());
textToSpeech.speak(words[ctr], TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null, "SpeakTest");
ctr++;
ctr %= words.length;
} else {
Snackbar.make(view, "Speaker not ready", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
}
});
}
}
What happens is that only a few of the words are spoken when I press the button. For example, in this case only handboll and kula could be said but not golf. In other cases kula could not be said.
Then I created the array {"kula", "kula", "kula"} and pressed the button maybe 100 times, then suddenly it started to work. So obviously it can speak the words, but it does not always happen when I press the button.
For the Locale object, I have tried sv, sv-SV and swe, all with the same result.
If I use english and en, it works fine.
