Text To Speech Example In Android

I had the opportunity to incorporate Text To Speech feature in E-Book apps in Android at Salsoft Technologies for Feel Social.Here is a neat example how to use the android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech
library.

Take an Edit Text Box and a Button and run the following code and feel free to leave your comments:

package az.tts;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class TexttoSpeech extends Activity implements OnInitListener {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
private EditText text;
private TextToSpeech tts;
private String str="";

   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.main);

   tts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
   text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
   //text.setText("Press me");
   str = text.getText().toString();

   Button btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button01);
   btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
str = text.getText().toString();
tts.speak(str, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null );
Toast.makeText(TexttoSpeech.this, text.getText().toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
});


   }

@Override
public void onInit(int status) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
tts.speak(str, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null );
Toast.makeText(TexttoSpeech.this, text.getText().toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
}
