App crashes when attempting to press the record button

Question

This is a basic Speech to Text implementation. With a button press it records sound and displays words as text.

It worked flawlessly on android 8 and still does on a device that runs Oreo, but when i try to run it on a device that uses android 9 Pie the app crashes. The code is 100% the same i have not changed a thing.

Addition to the manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />

Java:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        checkPermission();

        final EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.editText);

        final SpeechRecognizer mSpeechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this);

        final Intent mSpeechRecognizerIntent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
        mSpeechRecognizerIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
            RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
        mSpeechRecognizerIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE,
            Locale.getDefault());

        mSpeechRecognizer.setRecognitionListener(new RecognitionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onReadyForSpeech(Bundle bundle) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onBeginningOfSpeech() {

            }

            @Override
            public void onRmsChanged(float v) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onBufferReceived(byte[] bytes) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onEndOfSpeech() {

            }

            @Override
            public void onError(int i) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onResults(Bundle bundle) {
                //getting all the matches
                ArrayList<String> matches = bundle
                    .getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);

                //displaying the first match
                if (matches != null)
                    editText.setText(matches.get(0));
            }

            @Override
            public void onPartialResults(Bundle bundle) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onEvent(int i, Bundle bundle) {

            }
        });

        findViewById(R.id.button).setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
                switch (motionEvent.getAction()) {
                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                        mSpeechRecognizer.stopListening();
                        editText.setHint("You will see input here");
                        break;

                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                        mSpeechRecognizer.startListening(mSpeechRecognizerIntent);
                        editText.setText("");
                        editText.setHint("Listening...");
                        break;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });
    }


    private void checkPermission() {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            if (!(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS,
                    Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
                startActivity(intent);
                finish();
            }
        }
    }
}

I know that posting the entire code text is not common practice but i have no other way of letting you know what could be missing that is required on Android 9.

[Not allowed to bind to service Intent ] Different android versions require different ways of asking for permissions. — ivan, May 31 '19 at 16:44
Thought as much... It always has to be a permissions thing... — Greg, May 31 '19 at 16:46
Actually i just checked around and the reason might not be that, take a look at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25250761/speech-recognizer-on-htc-one-m7 — ivan, May 31 '19 at 16:47
I tried the enabling the speech option as google's default and it didn't help. App keeps crashing. — Greg, May 31 '19 at 16:52
Comparing the logfiles, some code numbers have changed but the log is mostly the same. Events are the same. — Greg, May 31 '19 at 17:00
OK this is strange... Turns out it DOES work on android 9, but not in all devices. It works on a Pocophone F1 running Pie, but not on a Galaxy A50 also running Pie. Why? How is this even possible? — Greg, May 31 '19 at 18:08
Its not that weird, thats why i linked the stack question, that one had the same problem with an specific device.(HTC ones to be exact) — ivan, May 31 '19 at 18:27
