Android SpeechRecognizer Network Error

I'm trying to create a continous speech recognition in Android 4.4, simple displaying the spoken words in a TextView, like a dictate. I followed multiple tutorials, like https://github.com/fcrisciani/android-speech-recognition/blob/master/VoiceRecognition/src/com/speech/fcrisciani/voicerecognition/ContinuousDictationFragment.java, or Is there a way to use the SpeechRecognizer API directly for speech input? and implemented the following version: ``` import java.util.ArrayList; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.graphics.PorterDuff; import android.os.Bundle; import android.speech.RecognitionListener; import android.speech.RecognizerIntent; import android.speech.SpeechRecognizer; import android.view.KeyEvent; import android.view.View; import android.widget.ImageButton; import android.widget.TextView; public class VoiceReadActivity extends Activity { private ImageButton mButtonSpeech; private TextView mTextView; private SpeechRecognizer mSpeechRecognizer = null; private SpeechRecognizer getSpeechRecognizer() { if (mSpeechRecognizer == null) { mSpeechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this); mSpeechRecognizer.setRecognitionListener(new RecognitionListener() { @Override public void onReadyForSpeech(Bundle params) { mButtonSpeech.getBackground().setColorFilter( 0xFFFF0000, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY ); } @Override public void onBeginningOfSpeech() { mTextView.append( "BEGINNING TO HEAR..." ); mButtonSpeech.getBackground().setColorFilter( 0xFFFFFFFF, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY ); } @Override public void onBufferReceived(byte[] buffer) {} @Override public void onEndOfSpeech() { mTextView.append( "STOP HEARING..." ); mButtonSpeech.getBackground().setColorFilter( 0xFF00FFFF, PorterDuff.Mode.DST ); } @Override public void onError(int error) { String message; boolean restart = true; switch (error) { case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_AUDIO: message = "Audio recording error"; break; case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_CLIENT: message = "Client side error"; restart = false; break; case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS: message = "Insufficient permissions"; restart = false; break; case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_NETWORK: message = "Network error"; break; case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_NETWORK_TIMEOUT: message = "Network timeout"; break; case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_NO_MATCH: message = "No match"; break; case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_RECOGNIZER_BUSY: message = "RecognitionService busy"; break; case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_SERVER: message = "error from server"; break; case SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_SPEECH_TIMEOUT: message = "No speech input"; break; default: message = "Not recognised"; break; } mTextView.append("onError code:" + error + " message: " + mes sage); if (restart) { getSpeechRecognizer().cancel(); startVoiceRead(); } } @Override public void onEvent(int eventType, Bundle params) {} @Override public void onPartialResults(Bundle partialResults) {} @Override public void onResults(Bundle results) { ArrayList<String> text = results.getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION); mTextView.append(text.get(0)); mTextView.append( ". " ); startVoiceRead(); } @Override public void onRmsChanged(float rmsdB) {} }); } return mSpeechRecognizer; } @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); mButtonSpeech = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.button_speech); mTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_slave); mButtonSpeech.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (mSpeechRecognizer == null) { startVoiceRead(); } else { stopVoiceRead(); } } }); } public void startVoiceRead() { Intent speechIntent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH); speechIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL, RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM); getSpeechRecognizer().startListening(speechIntent); mButtonSpeech.getBackground().setColorFilter( 0xFFFFFF00, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY ); } public void stopVoiceRead() { if (mSpeechRecognizer != null) { mSpeechRecognizer.destroy(); mSpeechRecognizer = null; } mButtonSpeech.getBackground().setColorFilter( 0xFFFFFFFF, PorterDuff.Mode.DST); } } ``` I already added permissions to my Android Manifest: ``` <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> ``` The problem is, that the RecognitionListener functions like onBeginningOfSpeech() is called randomly in average every third time I want to activate it threw button presses. Furthermore I don't receive any results, but ErrorCode 2: Network Error, if the RecognitionListener is activated. Even though I followed the tutorials, I wasn't able to spot the difference, making my code not work until now. My LogCat output throws the following errors when pressing the button: ``` 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): Writing exception to parcel 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: get/set setting for user asks to run as user -2 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): at com.android.server.am.ActivityManagerService.handleIncomingUser(ActivityManagerService.java:14614) 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): at android.app.ActivityManager.handleIncomingUser(ActivityManager.java:2258) 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): at com.android.providers.settings.SettingsProvider.call(SettingsProvider.java:663) 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): at android.content.ContentProvider$Transport.call(ContentProvider.java:325) 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): at android.content.ContentProviderNative.onTransact(ContentProviderNative.java:275) 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:404) 07-04 10:20:22.714: E/DatabaseUtils(869): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) 07-04 10:20:22.714: W/ActivityManager(869): Permission Denial: get/set setting for user asks to run as user -2 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VoiceEngineWrapper(16366): getInstance() : get existed VoiceEngine 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VSG(16366): VSG: speechEndpointTimeout = 1500 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VSG(16366): VSG: DEFAULT_ENDPOINT_MEDIUM is 1750 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VSG(16366): VSG: Not using dynamic HANGOVER ... speechEndpointTimeout is 1500 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VSG(16366): VSG: SHORT = 400 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VSG(16366): VSG: MEDIUM = 750 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VSG(16366): VSG: MEDIUM_LONG = 1250 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VSG(16366): VSG: LONG = 1750 07-04 10:20:22.734: E/VSG(16366): VSG: LONG_LONG = 2250 ``` But even if I add ``` <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL"/> ``` the problems, described above, continue. Thanks for taking the time to help. This has been a hurdle I haven't been able to get over yet.
