Does RecognitionListener.onError() automatically SpeechRecognizer.cancel()?

Question

For various reasons, I need to use the raw SpeechRecognizer API instead of the easier RecognizerIntent (RECOGNIZE_SPEECH) activity.

That means,

Answer 1

you can destroy current session by destroy(). And you can restart it again

Answer 2

No, cancel is not called when onError is invoked. You can look at the source here.

Answer 3

Actually Femi, some of the error conditions DO stop the transcription service from listening (SpeechRecognizer.ERROR_SPEECH_TIMEOUT for example). It is not necessary to call destroy, just startlistening again.
