SpeechRecognizer throws onError on the first listening

Question

In the Android 5 I faced with strange problem. The first call to the startListening of SpeechRecognizer results to the onError with error code 7 (ERROR_NO_MATCH).

I made test app with the following code:

if (speechRecognizer == null) {

    speechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this);
    speechRecognizer.setRecognitionListener(new RecognitionListener() {
        @Override
        public void onReadyForSpeech(Bundle bundle) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onReadyForSpeech");
        }

        @Override
        public void onBeginningOfSpeech() {
            Log.d(TAG, "onBeginningOfSpeech");
        }

        @Override
        public void onRmsChanged(float v) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onRmsChanged");
        }

        @Override
        public void onBufferReceived(byte[] bytes) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onBufferReceived");
        }

        @Override
        public void onEndOfSpeech() {
            Log.d(TAG, "onEndOfSpeech");
        }

        @Override
        public void onError(int i) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onError " + i);
        }

        @Override
        public void onResults(Bundle bundle) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onResults");
        }

        @Override
        public void onPartialResults(Bundle bundle) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onPartialResults");
        }

        @Override
        public void onEvent(int i, Bundle bundle) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onEvent");
        }
    });
}

final Intent sttIntent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
sttIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
        RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
sttIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE, "en");
sttIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE, "en");

speechRecognizer.startListening(sttIntent);

And have this log messages after first startListening call:

onError 7
onReadyForSpeech
onBeginningOfSpeech
onEndOfSpeech
onResults

And following messages after another startListening calls:

onRmsChanged
...
onRmsChanged
onReadyForSpeech
onRmsChanged
...
onRmsChanged
onBeginningOfSpeech
onRmsChanged
...
onRmsChanged
onEndOfSpeech
onRmsChanged
onRmsChanged
onRmsChanged
onResults

So, what is the reason of this error and how do I fix it?

Answer 1

As soon as you configure the "Okay Google" function to every screen the error appears.

So this seems to be the reason!

Deactivate the function and the problem should be solved
