No supported Languages for SpeechRecognizer on Android 8 Oreo

Question

Querying for the system for supported SpeechRecognizer Languages using this method I've noticed that on Android 8 (Oreo) the returned results are empty. I've tested this on a Google Pixel and a Google Pixel C both running Android 8. It all works on all devices available to me running an Android version lower than 8. I couldn't find any changes to the way this is supposed to be done on Android 8.

Answer 1

Coming back to answer my own question. Set the package of the Intent to "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" to receive the results for Android > 8.

The actual issue (setPackage requirement) is discussed in this question .
