Hide voice input if service not available

[parneet-guraya]

Fixes #5698

What changes did you make and why?

• Query on app startup if speech service is enable/available or not.
• Using that flag to set visibility of voice input icon.

Tests performed (required)

Tested {betaDebug prodDebug} on Oneplus 9RT, Android 14

Steps to test:

• Go to phone's settings and then to Apps
• find speech service by searching for speech
• try enable/disable
• restart app after every enable/disable.

Testing now, it is working fine on my device that has voice input.
I will search for a device that does not have voice input.

You can also disable the speech service :)

Nice tip!

I actually tried with my Galaxy 10, on Android 9, and somehow it shows the microphone despite having no voice recognition capabilities as far as I know:

Any idea what could be the issue?

[parneet-guraya]

We're depending on this call to check if service is available or not. Since, I don't have access to the device, do you mind adding a print statement and see if it returns true, then likely issue is with API.

Also try logging in the catch block too, on the click.

Line 164 in b6641e7

voiceInputResultLauncher.launch(intent);

For me when I disable service I get this exception message.

No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH (has extras) }

Would you mind rebasing? Thanks!

Also, could everyone test with their phones and report the results? Thanks! :-)

Yes, could you see if it works for you (try to use any physical device you have especially if older) @neeldoshii @savsch @sonalyadav1
