I have created an android speech recognition service and able to get the service started from an intent, however am unable to get the speech recogniser to start listening to voice commands.
Below is my code:
MainActivity:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Intent i= new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyService.class);
// potentially add data to the intent
i.putExtra("KEY1", "Value to be used by the service");
getApplicationContext().startService(i);
}
Service Code:
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
mSpeechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this);
mSpeechRecognizer.setRecognitionListener(new SpeechRecognitionListener());
mSpeechRecognizerIntent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
mSpeechRecognizerIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
mSpeechRecognizerIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_CALLING_PACKAGE,
this.getPackageName());
}
protected class IncomingHandler extends Handler
{
private WeakReference<MyService> mtarget;
IncomingHandler(MyService target)
{
mtarget = new WeakReference<MyService>(target);
}
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg)
{
final MyService target = mtarget.get();
switch (msg.what)
{
case MSG_RECOGNIZER_START_LISTENING:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
{
// turn off beep sound
if (!mIsStreamSolo)
{
mAudioManager.setStreamSolo(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL, true);
mIsStreamSolo = true;
}
}
if (!target.mIsListening)
{
target.mSpeechRecognizer.startListening(target.mSpeechRecognizerIntent);
target.mIsListening = true;
//Log.d(TAG, "message start listening"); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
break;
case MSG_RECOGNIZER_CANCEL:
if (mIsStreamSolo)
{
mAudioManager.setStreamSolo(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL, false);
mIsStreamSolo = false;
}
target.mSpeechRecognizer.cancel();
target.mIsListening = false;
//Log.d(TAG, "message canceled recognizer"); //$NON-NLS-1$
break;
}
}
}
// Count down timer for Jelly Bean work around
protected CountDownTimer mNoSpeechCountDown = new CountDownTimer(5000, 5000)
{
@Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onFinish()
{
mIsCountDownOn = false;
Message message = Message.obtain(null, MSG_RECOGNIZER_CANCEL);
try
{
mServerMessenger.send(message);
message = Message.obtain(null, MSG_RECOGNIZER_START_LISTENING);
mServerMessenger.send(message);
}
catch (RemoteException e)
{
}
}
};
@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
super.onDestroy();
if (mIsCountDownOn)
{
mNoSpeechCountDown.cancel();
}
if (mSpeechRecognizer != null)
{
mSpeechRecognizer.destroy();
}
}
protected class SpeechRecognitionListener implements RecognitionListener
{
@Override
public void onBeginningOfSpeech()
{
// speech input will be processed, so there is no need for count down anymore
if (mIsCountDownOn)
{
mIsCountDownOn = false;
mNoSpeechCountDown.cancel();
}
//Log.d(TAG, "onBeginingOfSpeech"); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
@Override
public void onBufferReceived(byte[] buffer)
{
}
@Override
public void onEndOfSpeech()
{
//Log.d(TAG, "onEndOfSpeech"); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
@Override
public void onError(int error)
{
if (mIsCountDownOn)
{
mIsCountDownOn = false;
mNoSpeechCountDown.cancel();
}
mIsListening = false;
Message message = Message.obtain(null, MSG_RECOGNIZER_START_LISTENING);
try
{
mServerMessenger.send(message);
}
catch (RemoteException e)
{
}
//Log.d(TAG, "error = " + error); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
@Override
public void onEvent(int eventType, Bundle params)
{
}
@Override
public void onPartialResults(Bundle partialResults)
{
}
@Override
public void onReadyForSpeech(Bundle params)
{
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
{
mIsCountDownOn = true;
mNoSpeechCountDown.start();
}
//Log.d(TAG, "onReadyForSpeech"); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
@Override
public void onResults(Bundle results)
{
//Log.d(TAG, "onResults"); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
@Override
public void onRmsChanged(float rmsdB)
{
}
}
Can some one point out where am going wrong? Any help will be appreciated :)
