W/TextToSpeech: speak failed: not bound to TTS engine, Sound does not work

Issue

I am now trying to implement a function that when the user clicks the button, it will speak input words inside the EditText. But I could not find how to improve my codes, any helps or advice, please.

Following this youtube video Working with TTS in Android Studio

As I checked some sites, I tried everything, for instance,

・Change the emulator made 3 emulators

・Setting->System->Languages & input->Advanced->Text-to-speech output

・Re-install English(US)

・Preferred engine is Google Text-to-speech Engine

・Check the SDK version, and it is 30

Finally realized that 「W/TextToSpeech: speak failed: not bound to TTS engine」 appears in the android studio
