I was wondering I'm working on an Android app where MediaPlayer/TextToSpeech is used to tell the user something and then a Speech Recognition object opens up after the MediaPlayer/TextToSpeech finishes and another is played after they answer the question with the recognition. Problem is I'm not 100% sure of a way, or good way, to delay the Speech Recognition from opening right after MediaPlayer is starts, or waiting till mediaplayer is done before speech recognition opens up. I see a few options based off my own knowledge/Google -
use the methods isPlaying(MediaPlayer)/isSpeaking(TextToSpeech) and putting them in some kind of loop to check until they aren't true anymore, then opening the speech recognition.
Call Thread.sleep(). The problem I see with this is I'm not sure exactly how long user is going to speak so it could still get interrupted unless I put it at a high time which just slows the app down.
I've research and played around with the Handler class a bit, but haven't fully comprehended how to do this...anyone help?
If you want to do something when a MediaPlayer finishes, you can set a OnCompletionListener with setOnCompletionListener() to receive a callback when the media playback is complete.
