I was fiddleing around with voice recognition on Android, using Google libs... I got it running pretty well on plain Java - but I'm having a HUGE problem on Monkey, which I don't know how to overcome :(

I ported my code from my Java project into a class, everything compiles fine but when I run it on Monkey, I get this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: SpeechRecognizer should be used only from the application's main thread

I even tried making my whole class static - to no avail. If I call the methods on Main() - the setup at least works - but still, I can't access it anywhere else without getting the error above.
(So I cannot even start to listen to a voice command, without getting the same "run on main thread" error)

My code:

class Speech2Text 
{
	static SpeechRecognizer mSpeechRecognizer;	
	public void setup(String language)
	{
		Activity activity = BBAndroidGame.AndroidGame().GetActivity();
		Context context = activity.getApplicationCpon

		mSpeechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(context);
(...)

Monkey side:

	Import "SpeechRecognizer/Speech2Text.java"
	#ANDROID_MANIFEST_MAIN+="<uses-permission android:name=~qandroid.permission.RECORD_AUDIO~q />"
	Extern
		Class SpeechRecognizer Extends Null = "Speech2Text"
			Method setup(language:String="pt-BR")
		End		
	Public
(...)

Class Game Extends App
	Field sRec:SpeechRecognizer
	
	Method OnCreate()
		sRec = New SpeechRecognizer()
		sRec.setup("pt-BR")
	End Method
End Class

There are more to the code, of course, but it is crashing right there, on createSpeechRecognizer. in the java code (when I call sRec.setup() in OnCreate.)

I have no idea on "how to "run this code in the main thread" - would I have to add my class into the main activity in the target java code? If so, how would I be able to call and retrieve results from it?

Any help deeply appreciated. I need to make a prototype of a game by Jan 10... and this is making me go crazy :/

Nevermind, I figured it out. Had to make all code to be called like this:

		Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
		handler.post(new Runnable() {
			 public void run() {
					mSpeechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(context);
			 }
		});

Now it works :)
