Android TTS from code itself - not user input

Question

I want to use the TTS service to speak out text messages I have written in the code itself such as:

header.setText("Hello!");

I saw TTS from user input, but I do not want this.

I have checked these links by the way:

But not really what I want.

Answer 1

You can label your element with contentDescription .

Java example:

myButton.setContentDescription("My text to speech");

XML example:

<LinearLayout
    .... >
    <ImageView
        ....
        android:contentDescription="My text to speech" />
</LinearLayout>
