android - Error ERROR_RECOGNIZER_BUSY with offline speech recognition

Question

I have made research on google offline speech recognition. but it works fine in google nexus 5(OS:-4.4) but same build if I implement in Samsung galaxy s5(OS:-5.0) it is not recognizing and it is showing this error:

8- ERROR_RECOGNIZER_BUSY.

Below is my code. By keeping this link as reference I have made a changes http://www.truiton.com/2014/06/android-speech-recognition-without-dialog-custom-activity/

Without internet voice must recognize. I have worked on Pocket sphinx but it take lot of side voice so client have rejected it.

public class VoiceRecognitionActivity extends Activity implements RecognitionListener {

    private TextView returnedText;
    private static ProgressBar progressBar;
    private static SpeechRecognizer speech = null;
    private static Intent recognizerIntent;

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        returnedText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        textView2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
        button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

         getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
    //  toggleButton = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.toggleButton1);

         PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
         List<ResolveInfo> activities = pm.queryIntentActivities( new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH), 0);
         if (activities.size() != 0) 
         {

Answer 1

ERROR_RECOGNIZER_BUSY is often thrown when you didn't close the SpeechRecognizer proprely. Yo probably are already using one instance of the SpeechRecognizer.

See this http://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/SpeechRecognizer.html
