[android-developers] Re: AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT a replacement for TTS?

Also, tried...

    mView.announceForAccessibility("Hello World");

Instead of using TTS to voice an utterance I'm wondering if this will do the job...
       
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
            AccessibilityEvent event = AccessibilityEvent.obtain(AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT);
            AccessibilityRecord record = AccessibilityRecord.obtain();
            record.setContentDescription("Hello World");
            event.appendRecord(record);
            mView.sendAccessibilityEventUnchecked(event);
        }

Tried this on a Nexus 4.1.2 with Accessibility TalkBack enabled and 'Hello World' was NOT spoken.
