[android-developers] Re: TTS / Jellybean
I have a problem with this solution, this isLanguageAvailable(Locale.getDefault()) always returns -2, I have tried also with Locale.ENGLISH, Locale.UK, Locale.US and always returns -2. I have tried to use TTS directly and is working, so it's installed, but isLanguageAvailable always returns -2. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Same problem here. I suppose this will break the usability of a lot of existing apps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I'm getting the exact same issue. It's annoying, and I'm starting to get compaints from customers.

I'm having the same problem with my app. Only an issue with Jelly Bean, worked fine before.

[android-developers] Re: TTS / Jellybean
So I believe I figured out a way around this, which IMO is nicer anyway. Rather than check the TTS data before I create the TTS object, I just create it and then call: myTTS.isLanguageAvailable(Locale.getDefault()) // for the default locale, can change to whatever to see if there's TTS data available for that object. Worked fine in testing, waiting for Play Store to push update to test production. Also, I don't have the code in front of me, so I may have mistyped the syntax, but it's something like that. Googling it will find a more thorough explanation.
