Android text to speech for Indonesian

Question

hey i'm trying to create a tts for 3 different language they are English, Spanish, and Indonesia i got no problem with English and Spanish they work fine, but i got an error with the Indonesian language i tried different ways and different locale combination but still no luck

here is my code for Indonesia :

Locale locInd = new Locale("IDN");

int result = tts.setLanguage(locInd);

I've tried locale("in","ID"); , locale("ind","IDN"); , locale("in_ID); but also still no luck every time i tried, the output is in English rather then Indonesian

i used jellybean(4.2.2) emulator to run it and there is in_ID in locale when i run the emulator

EDIT : i found my problem, in pico TTS indonesian is not installed is there a tutorial where each time there is not supported language it will pop up to ask for install?

MainActivity.tts.setLanguage(new Locale("id","ID"));

I used that and it works!

And apparently your phone must support Indonesian language. I tried on 2 different phones, one of them can't speak Indonesian

set the language while initialising text to speech whenever you change the locale:

textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(context, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
     @Override
     public void onInit(int status) {
         switch (status) {
             case TextToSpeech.SUCCESS: {
                 synchronized (this) {
                         int result = textToSpeech.setLanguage(set the indonesia id here);
                  // Take action based on the result of initialisation

                 }
             }
             break;
             default: {
                 Toast.makeText(appContext, appContext.getResources().getString(R.string.tts_init_failed), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
             }
             break;
         }
     }
 });

If you're using "id", "ID" or Locale("id", "ID") and not work you can try this code

Kotlin :

private fun askSpeechInput(){
    if(!SpeechRecognizer.isRecognitionAvailable(this)){
        Toast.makeText(this, "Speech recognition is not available", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }else{
        val i = Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH)
        i.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE, "id-ID")
        i.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, "Coba ucapkan sesuatu")
        launchSomeActivity.launch(i)
    }
}

This work for me
