speech recognition - Google voice recognizer doesn't start on Android 4.x -

i stumbled random issue... here code

mspeechrecognizer = speechrecognizer.createspeechrecognizer(mcontext);         initializerecognitionlistener();         mspeechrecognizer.setrecognitionlistener(mrecognitionlistener);      intent intent = new intent(recognizerintent.action_recognize_speech);     intent.putextra(recognizerintent.extra_language_model,                     recognizerintent.language_model_free_form);     intent.putextra(recognizerintent.extra_calling_package, getclass().getpackage().getname());     intent.putextra(recognizerintent.extra_language, "en-us");             intent.putextra(recognizerintent.extra_speech_input_complete_silence_length_millis, long.valueof(3000l));     intent.putextra(recognizerintent.extra_max_results, 5);     mspeechrecognizer.startlistening(intent); 

method initializerecognitionlistener():

private void initializerecognitionlistener() {     mrecognitionlistener = new recognitionlistener() {      @override             public void onreadyforspeech(bundle params) {         log.d("onreadyforspeech()", "onreadyforspeech!");         isrecognizing = true;     }      @override     public void onbeginningofspeech() {         log.d("onbeginningofspeech()", "onbeginningofspeech!");      }      @override     public void onendofspeech() {         log.e("onendofspeech()", "onendofspeech! stop sco");     }      ...  } 

main issue "onreadyforspeech()" , "onbeginningofspeech()" methods sometimes doesn't called after mspeechrecognizer.startlistening(intent). "onendofspeech()" can not called.

i'm using nexus 4 android 4.2.2

i posted similar answer on post:

this google voice search/jelly bean bug has been outstanding on aosp bug tracker year.

i posted on google product forum here too, no response. if reading , these issues resolved, please star aosp issue , comment on product forum post noticed!

to work around issue, you'll need implementation such 1 demonstrated here.

in testing today, appear latest version of google search has fixed problem internally though - update google search on play store , problem may disappear - if that's not case you, please comment below, may fixed in versions of google search apk, in case helpful know these variations occur handle them gracefully in our code!
