I'm using the solution here: Android Speech Recognition as a service on Android 4.1 & 4.2 The code below gets to the onStartCommand() method, however the speech recogntion never seems to kick off, as evidenced by the fact that the onReadyForSpeech() method is never called.
UPDATE: So I added and that allowed the onReadyForSpeech() to be called , BUT onError() is called with error code: 6 after the onReadyForSpeech() method is complete (this goes into a continuous loop because the start listening code is started again after onError() is called). Like Hoan Nguyen states below, error code 6 is ERROR_SPEECH_TIMEOUT BUT I never see a speech recognition dialog come up so I know to start speaking. I also tried to start speaking immediately after kicking off this code without that dialog coming and still get error code 6, what am I doing wrong here?
UPDATE (9-06-13): Like Hoan stated, there is no dialog that comes up. You just start talking as soon as listening is called. But I ran into another issue where trying to restart the listener after every onResult() is called...That issue and the complete code for this can be found here: Android Speech Speech Recognition: Repeated Calling of SpeechRecognizer.startListening() fails on JB 4.1.2
My activity code that calls the service:
startService(new Intent(VoiceRecognition.this, VoiceRecogService.class));
