[Bug/Feature]: Voice typing key triggers Google Voice Typing toast but does not activate speech input
CleverKeys Version
1.2.8
Device Information
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (SM-S938U1)
Android Version
Android 16 / One UI 8
Bug Category
UI / Input Method Integration
Description
When tapping the voice typing key on the CleverKeys keyboard, a toast notification appears saying "Google Voice typing" (or similar), but speech input never actually activates. No microphone UI appears and no dictation occurs.
Google Voice Typing is enabled as a system input method under Settings → General management → Keyboard list and default → Manage keyboards. Voice typing works correctly when using other keyboards (e.g., Gboard), so the system-level speech service is functional.
There doesn't appear to be any relevant setting within CleverKeys to configure voice input behavior.
Expected Behavior
Tapping the voice/mic key should either launch the system voice input (e.g., via ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH intent) and return transcribed text to the active text field, or — if voice typing isn't supported — the key should be hidden or show a clear message.
Actual Behavior
Toast appears briefly, nothing else happens. No microphone UI, no speech recognition, no text input.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open any app with a text field (e.g., Messages, Chrome)
- Bring up the CleverKeys keyboard
- Tap the voice typing / microphone key
- Observe toast "Google Voice typing" appears but no speech input activates
Additional Context
This may be an incomplete implementation of the speech recognizer intent handoff. Other open-source keyboards (e.g., HeliBoard) have had similar issues with Google Voice Typing integration (see Helium314/HeliBoard#764).
