React-Native Android: When Bluetooth device is connected, the voice recognition is listening through the phone's Microphone and not the Bluetooth's device Microphone.

Thanks for this amazing Library!!

Hi guys, I'm trying to do a speech-to-text app. Everything works fine, the problem is that when connecting the android device with a Bluetooth speaker or even headphones with an integrated microphone, it doesn't recognize the voice on the Bluetooth device microphone, instead uses the Android device microphone.

How could I make the app use the Bluetooth device microphone while recognizing the voice?

This bug was solved with the version 2.0.1. For me it works. If not, you have to check if bluetooth device is connected before run the start method to avoid crash. But I didn't find a package to know if the bluetooth device connected is a microphone device or not so I disabled voice recognition for all bluetooth device connected (even a simple bluetooth speaker ☹️)

@LudoLamerre Hello, Just wanted to confirm its only working in IOS right? not in android

@diwakardayal hello, I don't remember, it was 1 year ago 😬. But I think there were two distinct problems: 1-The right microphone source when a Bluetooth headset was connected: this problem seems to be solved according to my previous comment (https://github.com/react-native-voice/voice/issues/172#issueCuue-94075027 )) 2 -The Bluetooth helmets caused a native crash on iOS which was corrected https://github.com/react-native-voice/voice/issues/275#issuecomment-780331598 But unfortunately, you have to try 😅. Good luck
