I am trying to set Text to speech object language as Kannada. below is code where i am setting the language whose language code is kn as per the documentation. But somehow i m getting the error message as language not supported 

int result = tts.setLanguage(new Locale("kn", "IN"));
        if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA || result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
            Log.e("TTS", "This Language is not supported");
            result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.US);

            if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA || result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
                result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH);

            }

        }

Please suggest What are the approaches for the playing this text in kannada language or any other language. If any api will provide it it will help me alot

    You can [check](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4872702/get-available-locales-for-text-to-speech-tts) whether Kannada is supported on your device. If it isn't... there's not much you can do except complain, I suppose. – Amadan Jun 28 '18 at 11:07
  • yeah its not there then how can i play this ? will change the question as well – Feroz Siddiqui Jun 28 '18 at 11:09
  • kn language is supported in my phone but still its not working these are two categories of lang cod available in my phone kn, kn_IN – Feroz Siddiqui Jun 28 '18 at 11:16
  • Are you saying TTS for Kannada is supported, or just that locale is supported? The two are not the same. Also, Google around, I think Android allows third-party developers to add TTS support for extra languages. – Amadan Jun 28 '18 at 11:19
  • Locale loc = new Locale("en"); Log.i("-------------", Arrays.toString(loc.getAvailableLocales())); i use this function call to view the available locales – Feroz Siddiqui Jun 28 '18 at 11:27
  • You still need to check whether the locale has TTS available. BTW, the accepted answer in the question I linked makes no sense, read comments and other answers. In particular, `tts.getAvailableLanguages()` and/or `tts.isLocaleAvailable(locale)`. – Amadan Jun 28 '18 at 11:30
  • I think this is happening due continuous change of different language like english , hindi, kannada on same TTS object. I am setting the language based on button click by the user – Feroz Siddiqui Jun 28 '18 at 11:33
  • Either choose a different TTS engine OR use mp3 files with a someone's voice saying predetermined sentences or words. – Phantômaxx Jun 28 '18 at 12:32
