Launching Android Speech Recognition as Service: not starting

Question

I use the solution here: Android Speech Recognition as a service on Android 4.1 and 4.2 The code below receives the onStartCommand () method, however speech recognition never starts, as evidenced by the fact that the onReadyForSpeech () method is never called.

UPDATE: Therefore, I added, and it allowed to call onReadyForSpeech (), Bout is called onError () with an error code: 6 after the onReadyForSpeech () method completes (this goes into a continuous loop, because the initial listening code starts again after onError () is called) . As with Hoan Nguyen, error code 6 is ERROR_SPEECH_TIMEOUT, but I never see the speech recognition dialog, so I know to start talking. I also tried to start talking right after I started this code without this dialog, and still get error code 6, what am I doing wrong here?

UPDATE (9-06-13): As Joan said, there is no dialogue. You are just starting to speak as soon as the listening is called. But I ran into another problem when I try to restart the listener after calling each onResult () ... This problem and the full code for this can be found here: Android Speech Speech Recognition: Recalling SpeechRecognizer.startListening () does not work on JB 4.1.2

My activity code calling the service:

startService(new Intent(VoiceRecognition.this, VoiceRecogService.class)); 

My service:
