Voice.isAvailable() returns false on Android 11 - fix for Expo plugin. #350

vivekvrao · 2021-08-21T23:07:57Z

Voice.isAvailable() returns empty list on Android 11 . Seems to be because of package visibility changes as discussed in #304
and can be fixed by making the addition to manifest below.

As of Expo build 42 - it is possible to use react-native-voice in Expo with custom Eas builds. But that doesn't allow for adding queries to the manifest. Can this be added in the expo plugin of the library?

I looked at - https://github.com/react-native-voice/voice/blob/master/plugin/src/withVoice.ts -but is not obvious how to do this.

Due to Android 11 change, you have to add below code in your manifest xml file.

<manifest...>
    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.speech.RecognitionService" />
        </intent>
    </queries>
   ...

I have tested this, works well!

Hi all,

What is the ETA to get this into release? Right now, with expo config plugins, the fix is not working with latest release.

Hi all

I'm facing the below issue while running the code. I just upgrade to android 11. Is the anything I missed, please help if any finding

Error: unexpected element queries found in manifest application

hey did you ever get a fix? still not working for me

tslater · 2022-06-30T03:16:21Z

vivekvrao, I've managed to get some working code for the expo plugin. I've made a PR here. I have an NPM package you can use to test in the interim: @nonsenselearning/voice. Hope this helps!

aha85b · 2022-07-21T04:57:47Z

@nonsenselearning/voice

How did you get it to work?

tslater · 2022-07-21T15:13:40Z

I made a PR above #396. Until that gets accepted, you can use my fork. This is what I put in my package.json:

{
...
  "dependencies": {
       "@nonsenselearning/voice": "^3.2.6",
    }
}

and then when you import:

 const  Voice = require('@nonsenselearning/voice').default

I'm running on all latest versions of everything (literally started playing around with this today) and it still doesn't work.
I followed the tutorials from here:

I also added the following to my local config (because I found them here and in other places)

    <package android:name="com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"/>
    <intent>
      <action android:name="android.speech.RecognitionService" />
    </intent>
    <intent>
      <action android:name="android.speech.SpeechRecognizer" />
    </intent>

with no result.

I even followed this to request for permissions in an expo-friendly way (https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v46.0.0/sdk/audio/), but also - with no result.

and my services list is still empty (it's a Promise these days btw)

For react native cli add this in manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" /> <queries> <package android:name="com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"/> </queries> queries> <intent> <action android:name="android.speech.RecognitionService" /> </intent> </queries> <queries> <intent> <action android:name="android.speech.SpeechRecognizer" /> </intent> </queries>

last step
make sure google llc is installed on your device :)
this worked for me

Hello Expo users,

I wanted to share some updates regarding the config plugin by @tslater. I've made some enhancements, and thanks to the comment from @cdcHub, I've added additional values into the config plugin.

For react native cli add this in manifest <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" /> <queries> <package android:name="com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"/> </queries> queries> <intent> <action android:name="android.speech.RecognitionService" /> </intent> </queries> <queries> <intent> <action android:name="android.speech.SpeechRecognizer" /> </intent> </queries>

last step make sure google llc is installed on your device :) this worked for me

const {
  AndroidConfig,
  createRunOncePlugin,
  withAndroidManifest,
} = require("@expo/config-plugins");

const withAndroidPermissions = (config) => {
  return AndroidConfig.Permissions.withPermissions(config, [
    "android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO",
  ]);
};

const androidVoiceRecognitionIntent = {
  intent: {
    action: {
      $: {
        "android:name": "android.speech.RecognitionService",
      },
    },
  },
};

const androidSpeechRecognizerIntent = {
  intent: {
    action: {
      $: {
        "android:name": "android.speech.SpeechRecognizer",
      },
    },
  },
};

const googlequicksearchbox = {
  package: {
    $: { "android:name": "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" },
  },
};

const withAndroidManifestFixForAndroid11 = (config) => {
  return withAndroidManifest(config, async (config) => {
    let androidManifest = config.modResults.manifest;
    // @ts-ignore
    let queries = androidManifest["queries"] || [];
    queries.push(androidVoiceRecognitionIntent);
    queries.push(androidSpeechRecognizerIntent);
    queries.push(googlequicksearchbox);
    // @ts-ignore
    androidManifest["queries"] = queries;
    return config;
  });
};

const withVoice = (config) => {
  config = withAndroidPermissions(config);
  config = withAndroidManifestFixForAndroid11(config);
  return config;
};

module.exports = createRunOncePlugin(withVoice, "withVoiceCustom", "1.0.0");

You can add that custom plugin directly into app.json's plugin array

"plugins": [
  "./src/plugins/with-voice-custom.js"
],
