Voice Recognition Service

[JoseIgnacio92]

Hello, I share this workaround for certain devices, in my case it happened with a Samnsung J1 Mini Prime.
It happened that the user had not selected a voice service and the recognition does not work, nor did he warn of such an error, he only listened and never finished.

Option 1 : RNAndroidSpeechRecognizerModule.java line 83

@ReactMethod
  public void isRecognitionAvailable(final Promise promise) {
    boolean available = SpeechRecognizer.isRecognitionAvailable(this.reactContext);
    Log.d(TAG, "isRecognitionAvailable: " + available);
    String s = android.provider.Settings.Secure.getString(reactContext.getContentResolver(), "voice_recognition_service");


    if(android.text.TextUtils.isEmpty(s))
      available=false;

    promise.resolve(available);
  }

In this way, notify the user that there is a lack of configuration on your device. But to not be indicating to this that you should install opt for this other solution

Option 2 : RNAndroidSpeechRecognizerModule.java line 110

private void doCreateSpeechRecognizer(final Promise promise) {
    String s = android.provider.Settings.Secure.getString(reactContext.getContentResolver(), "voice_recognition_service");


    if(android.text.TextUtils.isEmpty(s))
      this.speechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this.reactContext,ComponentName.unflattenFromString("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voicesearch.serviceapi.GoogleRecognitionService"));
    else
      this.speechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this.reactContext);

    this.speechRecognizer.setRecognitionListener(new ListenerMapRecognitionListener(
      this.enabledEvents,
      this.reactContext.getJSModule(RCTNativeAppEventEmitter.class),
      this.eventPrefix
    ));
    promise.resolve(null);
  }

I hope this helps someone.

Thank you for that. Sounds like a bug in the Android SDK. Do you have an idea why the settings may not have been present and are you aware of other users having encountered the same?

The issue was very rare, SpeechRecognizer started but did not emit the corresponding error so it was frozen.
In my case I could try only with a Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini. I followed all the tutorials to verify that everything was correctly installed but still I could not fix it.
Then I found this fix on the internet that served me and it would be easier than walking configuring users.
