And this is my code in MainActivity.java

package com.example.texttospeechapp;

import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;

import java.util.Locale;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {




    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {



        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        TextToSpeech tts = new TextToSpeech(this,(OnInitListener) this);
        tts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
        tts.speak("Text to say aloud", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

I'm not getting any errors in my code. 9 warnings but no errors.

Solved: This is a working code:

package com.example.texttospeechapp;

import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;

import java.util.Locale;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnInitListener {


    private static final int MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE = 0;
    TextToSpeech mTts;



    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {


        //tts = new TextToSpeech(this,(OnInitListener) this);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


        initTTS();

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    private void initTTS() {
        Intent checkIntent = new Intent();
        checkIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA);
        startActivityForResult(checkIntent, MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if(requestCode == MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE) {
        if(resultCode == TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS) {
        mTts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
        } else {
        Intent installIntent = new Intent();
        installIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);
        startActivity(installIntent);
            }
        }
    }
    public void onInit(int status) {
        if(status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
            int result = mTts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
                    if(result == TextToSpeech.LANG_AVAILABLE
                       || result == TextToSpeech.LANG_COUNTRY_AVAILABLE) {
                             mTts.speak("Start system", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
                    }
        }
    }
}

==== Problem ====

You are getting a ClassCastException on this line of MainActivity:

    TextToSpeech tts = new TextToSpeech(this,(OnInitListener) this);

That is because you are casting this , a reference to the activity, to a OnInitListener.

By applying the cast, you have told the compiler that the this is an instance of OnInitListener. That is why you do not get a compilation error. The cast is however checked at runtime, and it fails when the VM determines that this is not an instance of that interface. Thus the following LogCat message:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.example.texttospeechapp.MainActivity cannot be cast to android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech$OnInitListener

==== Solution ====

To fix this you must implement that interface in your activity as follows

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnInitListener {

and then you will need to implement the one OnInitListner method in your activity:

public void onInit (int status) {
   // This will be called when the text-to-speech engine has been initialized. 
}
