UtteranceProgressListener is not called always in Text to Speech?


My code:

import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.security.SecureRandom;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Locale;

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;
import android.speech.tts.UtteranceProgressListener;
import android.widget.Toast;

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1)
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    public TextToSpeech tts;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        tts = new TextToSpeech(this, new ttsInitListener());
    }
    @SuppressLint("TrulyRandom") class ttsInitListener implements OnInitListener {

        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        @Override
        public void onInit(int status) {

            if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
                tts.setLanguage(Locale.getDefault());
                if (!tts.isSpeaking()) {
                    SecureRandom random = new SecureRandom();
                    String aa= new BigInteger(130, random).toString(32);
                    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
                    map.put(TextToSpeech.Engine.KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID, aa);
                    tts.speak("Hello Hello HEllo HEllo HEllo",
                            TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, map);
                    tts.setOnUtteranceProgressListener(new ttsUtteranceListener());
                }

            } else {
                tts = null;
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        "Failed to initialize TTS engine.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();
            }
        }
    }

    class ttsUtteranceListener extends UtteranceProgressListener {

        @Override
        public void onDone(String utteranceId) {

            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "onDone", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }

        @Override
        public void onError(String utteranceId) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "onError", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onStart(String utteranceId) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "onStart", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
}

When speak

tts.speak("Hello Hello HEllo HEllo HEllo",
                                TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, map);

Finish then should call onDone(String utteranceId) method of ttsUtteranceListener class. but ttsUtteranceListener is not always reached.

Why is this class not reached?


Solution

  • You are using this:

    String aa= new BigInteger(130, random).toString(32);
    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
    map.put(TextToSpeech.Engine.KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID, aa);  //aa can be anything random, not necessary a word contained in your text
    

    UtteranceProgressListener is a Listener for events relating to the progress of an utterance through the synthesis queue.

    onDone : Called when an utterance has successfully completed processing.

    You should try using this:

    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
    map.put(TextToSpeech.Engine.KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID, "Hello");
    tts.speak("Hello Hello HEllo HEllo HEllo", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, map);
    tts.setOnUtteranceProgressListener(new ttsUtteranceListener());
    

    Then it will be fired when utterance of Hello is completed successfully.

    Hope it helps.
