SpeechRecognizer plays sound but delivers no results when calling startListening()

I am trying to program a speech recognition without the dialog. For the first call of SpeechRecognizer.startListening(recognizerIntent)everything works fine and I get results with the recognised speech String. But when I want to start the recognition for the second time, only the recognition start sound is played and when I stop talking the recognition end sound. No callback methods like onResults(), onRmsChangedor onErroretc. is called.

Do not reuse the Intent instance, you must create a new one each time you start recognition.

Android Text to speech And Speech to text

I am working with text to speech and speech to text at the same time. I am making an app in which it ask a question through text to speech and get the answer from the user through speech and app convert it to text. but it does not work fine. both are working at the same time like what it speak, it text it back. can we give some delay so that when it stop speaking then it listen for the voice and return that text.

Try changing:
speakOut();
promptSpeechInput();
to
promptSpeechInput();
And then add:
speakOut();
after
eText1.setText(result.get(0));
This should speak the text after it has finished getting the text
Edit: use this to determine when the speech is finished. When it is just call promptSpeechInput()

Anomailies when an activity calls itself

I Have an activty in my app which uses putextra(int) method to pass the value 0 first when the aactivty is started. Then on pressing a next button it passes 6,Subsequently 12 and so on. But the trouble is on pressing the next second time I found that the value of index received using getextras method is 0.Is it cause i am calling the activity from itself . This is the code snippet:
package com.movie;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

setContentView(R.layout.mallu_list);
db = new databaseconnect(this);
db.open();
start=this.getIntent().getExtras().getInt("index");
lang =this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("lang");
Toast.makeText(this, start+"", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i("info",start+"");
if(!db.isdata(lang))
{
Toast.makeText(this, "No data in Database", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
finish();
return;
}
end=start+6;
bm[0] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bm1);

namesdb = db.getmovie("",lang);
for (int i = 0; start+i < namesdb.length && i<6; i++) {
bm[i].setText(namesdb[start+i]);
bm[i].setOnClickListener(this);
}
int flag=0;
int i=namesdb.length;
Log.i("info",i+"");

for(int j=5;j>=i-start;j--)
{
bm[j].setBackgroundResource(0);
flag=1;
}
if(flag==1)
{
// nxt.setBackgroundResource(0);
// nxt.setText("");
}
else
nxt.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onBackPressed();
Intent myint2 = new Intent(this, list.class);
startActivity(myint2);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.bm1:
call(namesdb[start],start,lang);
break;
case R.id.bm2:
call(namesdb[start+1],start,lang);
break;
case R.id.bm3:
call(namesdb[start+2],start,lang);
break;
case R.id.bm4:
call(namesdb[start+3],start,lang);
break;
case R.id.bm5:
call(namesdb[start+4],start,lang);
break;
case R.id.bm6:
call(namesdb[start+5],start,lang);
break;
case R.id.nxt:
int i=namesdb.length;
Intent myint2 = new Intent(this,movielist.class);
myint2.putExtra("index",end);
myint2.putExtra("lang",lang);
startActivity(myint2);
case R.id.prev:
if(start==0)
{
prev.setBackgroundResource(0);
}
else
{
myint2 = new Intent(this,movielist.class);
myint2.putExtra("index",start-6);
myint2.putExtra("lang",lang);
startActivity(myint2);}
break;
}
}
public void call(String name,int start2,String lang) {
Intent myint = new Intent(this, detail.class);
myint.putExtra("nameid", name);
myint.putExtra("index", start2);
myint.putExtra("lang", lang);
startActivity(myint);
}
}

Here's your problem. This part of the switch statement:
case R.id.nxt:
int i=namesdb.length;
Intent myint2 = new Intent(this,movielist.class);
myint2.putExtra("index",end);
myint2.putExtra("lang",lang);
startActivity(myint2);
is missing a break at the end. So it falls through to the next case, which starts the activity with different extras.

My text to speech doesn't want to talk back to me

I am still having problems with my TextToSpeech android, I entered the button twice once for the implemented Speech like exlipse asked me too and one for the implemented OnClickListener, Even if I take out the bottom action for the button it doesn't want to play, Why? idk it just doesn't want to say what is in my EditText Field I have no clue why it doesn't want to and I have asked around many times but I haven't goten an answer that worked.

Did you try speaking the text with just one method call? Like this
mTts.speak(aString, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
It works fine for me. The initialization I use is the same as yours. The only remaining difference is this (which should not be necessary to get the TTS to work!):
this.speaker.setSpeechRate(0.9f);
this.speaker.setPitch(0.9f);
