Android Question [SOLVED] *** Initialising a JavaObject for tts

[rleiman]

Greetings everyone,

I'm writing a small sub routine to stay in a loop until tts has finished speaking based on Erel's coding from this post:

Post to determine when tts finishes speaking

I coded this sub routine using the coding from the post:

Sub StayHereWhileTtsIsSpeaking
    
    Do While jo.RunMethod("isSpeaking",Null) = True
        Sleep(100)
    Loop
    Log("done speaking")
End Sub

The post didn't show what the declaration statement was for jo so I assumed this coding would work:

Private jo As JavaObject

The IDE gave me a warning that it needs to be initialised. When I ran the app, the logs told me I need to initialise jo. I looked at the dropdown after typing the dot for jo but I wasn't sure which one to use since it was not included in the post. Can you let me know what the initialise statement should look like?

Thanks.

Dim jo As JavaObject = tts

Dim jo As JavaObject = tts

You are the best! ?

Sub StayHereWhileTtsIsSpeaking
    
    Dim jo As JavaObject = tts
    Do While jo.RunMethod("isSpeaking",Null) = True
        Sleep(100)
    Loop
    Log("done speaking")
End Sub
