Text to Speech and New Layout

For reference for the blog, text to speech will be referred to as tts.

Reference to the tts sdk is found at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/tts/TextToSpeech.html

Again, the New Boston gives tutorials on using the Text to Speech :

The tts needs to be initialised, this is done using the OnInitListener, the language is then set to UK.

The phrases for the text to speech are:

1. Your Shot will be a Hit
2. Your Shot will be a Miss
3. No Server Found

It was discovered that the TTS works on a standalone Activity but when the TTs was integrated into the Tab View, it couldn't be initialised.

So a new layout for the application was to be created.

This would be a menu which contained 3 buttons; Start, Instructions and Preferences.

The background colour of this menu is set to be; "009900"
