Thanks Dianne,
I tried a solution from John on the TTS group which worked well but I
soon realised that trying to the stuff I need on the BR is just a lot
more work and stupid :)
I am now writing a big post-it on my screen with: "Broadcast Receivers
are only to receive events and kick start services and activities
where you do the stuff you want to do - NOTHING ELSE" :)
Thanks again.
Nuno
(For other users: John's solution is:)
quote:
"Hi again,
sorted it!
you need to create a new context object from the TTS package context,
like so -
Context myContext = ctx.createPackageContext("com.google.tts", 0);
where ctx is the context from your BroadcastReceiver. Now use
myContext in your TTS constructor.
