I am doing this interactive time telling clock using voice recognition and TTS engines and the first one works perfectly (almost). See attachment called "clock.b4a". My only gripe is that the time in second freezes when the voice recognition comes into play.
So I thought in order to circumvent that I would move the VR into a service module. See attachment called "clock with service.b4a" and the service module named "timeteller". Android doesn't like it saying activity class is not explicit. Not sure why.
