Android Question Service and TTS - Solved

[padvou]

Can a service module use TTS to speak?
If not how could this be accomplished?

 

[padvou]

I spoke too quickly, perhaps a workaround : why not starting a transparent activity when you want it to speak and close it just after ?

OK, here's the latest version that worked on a chinese tablet.
I'll try it on my HTC this afternoon.
I will work on the project you sent me (thank you very much indeed BTW) because it has many interesting stuff (not only for TTS)

The service stops talking after some time, maybe something to do with the device sleeping???

1. Have you tried to add the PhoneWakeState and especially the PartialLock ?
2. Have you checked if the service was killed or not ? Perhaps should you use the StartForground ?

Phonewakestate is added with PartialLock.
Can I use startat with startforground?

With PartialLock your app will use more battery power.
Your app talked all night for me @padvou.
Can I use startat with startforground? Yes

Your app talked all night for me @padvou.

and you have been awake the hole night to listen to it?

You know me @DonManfred, you shouldn't need to ask that question .

oh, yeah! Maybe we should have the app say something smart and keep us company during the small hours!
