I am working on an android application that uses the TextToSpeech functionality provided by google and have followed this example:
I want to know with this line:
int result = mTts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA ||
result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
// Lanuage data is missing or the language is not supported.
}
What can I do if the Language data is missing off the users device? The app will not continue if the data is not there? Is there a way to allow the user to get the language on their device? I have a test device that seems to not have any languages on it at all.
From http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/tts.html:
// missing data, install it
Intent installIntent = new Intent();
installIntent.setAction(
TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);
startActivity(installIntent);
No good way to know exactly what happens if the language they want simply doesn't exist at all, but....that is the recommended way of dealing with it.
