TTS Installed but not detected

[vgiannoul]

Hello and thanks for your work! It seems that after v2.4.1.0 TTS is not recognized even though it's installed and working on other apps. The audio cues silently fail when tested via the settings. When I downgrade the app, audio cues are working as expected. I'm testing this on a pixel 3a phone running latest grapheneOS (android 12)

There are no direct changes to TTS at all, I can only see a few library updates as possibly related (Android 11 targeting in 2.4.2). I have not seen any changed recommendations for Android 12 or that the implementation is not as recommended, so no clues here. Any printouts in the log? (amaybe including "res == ERROR emit()"). Any possibility that you can debug? (add printouts to app/src/main/org/runnerup/view/AudioCueSettingsActivity.java OnInitListener and RUTextToSpeech emitt()).

I was able to install the latest app version and get some logs via adb logcat but I'm not sure what is going on. Still no audio cues and on the same device the older version works as expected. If you could assist me I could provide more info. Thanks again for your time

Hi! I'm having this same issue but after upgrading my lineage from 17.1 to 18.1 (android 11) and using in both runnerup 2.4.4.0. It seems that since android 11 the app should declare that is going to use the TTS. At least it's commented in this stackoverflow thread and the linked android reference doc. Not tested though. I don't see the android.intent.action.TTS_SERVICE stanza in the AndroidManifest.xml of the app. So we can try this initially.

The final error in the logcat when testing the cue is the following (the tts is null because it cannot be initialized, the onInitdhould pass error although it's not checked):

If I add this to the manifest, it still works for me and no warnings and lints so I guess this is fine. Google constantly changes requirements it is hard to keep up and to find what actually need to be done.

tts init is indirectly reported in the callback:

Can someone test this?

[rickyepoderi]

I tested today with my device. The above PR fixes my issue at least. Also testded in the emulator with Android 10 and 11.

[vgiannoul]

Unfortunately I cannot easily build and test this PR (With the latest android studio I tried there was an incompatibility error with the java version). Should the issue be closed and merge since it is already tested by @rickyepoderi? Alternatively I could try again. Thanks again for your feedback

[gerhardol]

Issues are normally closed when the PR is merged If the issue is referred to correctly it is done automatically, now I do it manually
