texttospeech android,java - Android TextToSpeech always fails to Run - Stack Overflow

For some reason onInit() always gets called with an error code despite the fact that I have verified that the required data files are available.

I have tried launching TTS(text-to-speech) code which has been copied in it's entirety from a tutorial and that does not work either

The following is my initialization code:

@Override

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

if (requestCode == DATA_CHECK_SUCCESS) {

if (resultCode == TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS) {

textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(this, this);

}

else {

Intent installTTSIntent = new Intent();

installTTSIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);

startActivity(installTTSIntent);

}

}

}

@Override

public void onInit(int initStatus) {

if (initStatus == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {

if(textToSpeech.isLanguageAvailable(Locale.US)==TextToSpeech.LANG_AVAILABLE)

textToSpeech.setLanguage(Locale.US);

}

else if (initStatus == TextToSpeech.ERROR) {

Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry! Text To Speech failed...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

}

@Override

protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Intent TTSIntent = new Intent();

TTSIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA);

startActivityForResult(TTSIntent, DATA_CHECK_SUCCESS);

}

Thanks in advance
