Android TTS TextToSpeech Best Practice

Question

I am aware of the lifecycle of TTS, Activity and Application. However I have a hard time making sure to release TTS after using it, especialy if a user presses Home and so on. I want an App that speaks during multiple Activities. I don't know how long my App needs to talk and during talking I need to update a View from time to time. Perhaps someone could point out a good example for best practice in handling the creation and releasing of my TTS Object.

Thank's in advance.

Answer 1

You should create the Tts object in onStart() and shutdown Tts in onStop(). This way when your app is not visible, the TTS resources are not being used.
