bug: SpeechRecognition.stop() won't stop recording on android.

[sfcheng]

Plugin version:

@capacitor-community/[email protected]

Platform(s):

Android 12

Current behavior:

By default, android will stop listening when there is no more speech input detected. However, when the app is run in a place with a lot of background noise, the recording process will never stop even if I call SpeechRecognition.stop(). I am not using the android popup.

Expected behavior:

Calling SpeechRecognition.stop() should stop the recording.

Steps to reproduce:

Start the record in a noisy place or while playing some background music.

I found the solution
replace the function that stops listening on android

private void stopListening() {
        bridge
            .getWebView()
            .post(
                () -> {
                    try {
                        SpeechRecognition.this.lock.lock();
                        if (SpeechRecognition.this.listening) {
                            if (speechRecognizer != null) {
                                speechRecognizer.stopListening();
                                speechRecognizer.cancel();  // Cancel ongoing recognition
                                speechRecognizer.destroy(); // Destroy the recognizer to release resources
                                speechRecognizer = null;
                            }
                            SpeechRecognition.this.listening(false);
                            
                            // Notify listeners that listening has stopped
                            JSObject ret = new JSObject();
                            ret.put("status", "stopped");
                            SpeechRecognition.this.notifyListeners(LISTENING_EVENT, ret);
                        }
                    } catch (Exception ex) {
                        throw ex;
                    } finally {
                        SpeechRecognition.this.lock.unlock();
                    }
                }
            );
    }

Has this fix been implemented?

Has this fix been implemented?

No, for the moment I created a fork with the pull requests of others.
"@capacitor-community/speech-recognition": "github:GerardoTovar/speech-recognition#v6.0.2"
Let's hope they implement it
