Hey, I could actually found the solution in this thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45992420/speechrecognizer-bind-to-recognition-service-failed

Just add this lines to your unityLibrary/manifests/AndroidManifest.xml:
<queries>
<package android:name="com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"/>
</queries>

hi, did you manage to resolve this one your end? i'm facing this exact same error

[denyslave]

Hi, same problem here. In my case, I actually observed this problem on some phones with Android 10, either.
Have you found any solution?

[joepeaden]

Same problem here. Just updated to Android 11. Seems like the MainActivity class is missing?
Here's a snapshot of the Android Logcat error that I'm getting at least.

how will i solve this build error

[BrockyBoi]

Hi there, I seem to be having the same issues as everyone else, but the solutions don't seem to be doing anything. Regarding upgrading the gradle version, the video says to upgrade it to 3.4.3, but on the latest version of unity it's already at 4.0.1, and going backwards doesn't seem to help. I have also copy and pasted the exact xml code to AndroidManifest.xml, so I've really seemed to hit a roadblock. Right now all I'm trying to do is to run the sample scene on my android phone and not get the Error Unity java.lang.ClassCastException: com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity cannot be cast to com.starseed.speechtotext.MainActivity error. Any help would go a long ways. Thanks so much.

I adjusted the manifests and it still does not work.
Later I found out that I checked the Release option of Minify.
After I unchecked the Minify option, it worked.

After adding in menifest
<queries> <package android:name="com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"/> </queries>

I was experiencing crash with error
2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime FATAL EXCEPTION: main 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime Process: com.starseed.speechandtext, PID: 32514 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.Object java.util.ArrayList.get(int)' on a null object reference 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime at com.starseed.speechtotext.MainActivity$3.onResults(MainActivity.java:115) 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime at android.speech.SpeechRecognizer$InternalListener$1.handleMessage(SpeechRecognizer.java:459) 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:106) 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:246) 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:8633) 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:602) 2022-05-05 18:51:21.677 32514 32514 Error AndroidRuntime at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1130)

Then I found a comment saying to add following in menifest
<queries> <intent> <action android:name="android.speech.RecognitionService" /> </intent> </queries>

Now, app does not crash but when ever I am trying to detect speech it says following

Hi, MaekellMina.
No unfortunately we haven't managed to resolve the issue from our end, we are exploring other possible solutions at this stage. Will keep you posted if we find anything useful.

Hi,

I have found a fix for this issue. Reason for crash was in MainActivity.java

@Override
public void onResults(Bundle results) {
      ArrayList<String> text = results.getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);
     /// For some reason `text`  is null.
     UnityPlayer.UnitySendMessage("SpeechToText", "onResults", text.get(0));// this line was crashing.
}

so I added a null check like this and built a new SpeechToTextPlugin.jar

@Override
public void onResults(Bundle results) {
    ArrayList<String> text = results.getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);
    if(text!=null && !text.isEmpty())
    {   
         UnityPlayer.UnitySendMessage("SpeechToText", "onResults", text.get(0));
    }else {
        UnityPlayer.UnitySendMessage("SpeechToText", "onResults", "null recieved");
    }
}

Solution:

1. Download and extract following zip file.
   SpeechToTextPlugin.zip
2. Replace new SpeechToTextPlugin.jar in 'Assets\Plugins\Android' folder.

Note:

For some reason we will get result in onPartialResultsCallback not in onResultCallback.
