Develop Reference

SpeechRecognizer will be repeated, instead of running permanently

I'm trying to develop something similar to Google Assistant. So when I say "OK app", it should handle. So I have just created a service that is running in the background:
public class SttService extends Service implements RecognitionListener {
private static final String TAG = "SstService";
SpeechRecognizer mSpeech;
private void speak() {
mSpeech = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(SttService.this);
mSpeech.setRecognitionListener(SttService.this);
Intent intent1 = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
intent1.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE, "en");
mSpeech.startListening(intent1);
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.e(TAG, "onStartCommand: I am running");
speak();
return START_STICKY;
}
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.e(TAG, "onBind: ");
return null;
}
#Override
public void onReadyForSpeech(Bundle params) {
Log.e(TAG, "onReadyForSpeech: ");
}
#Override
public void onBeginningOfSpeech() {
Log.e(TAG, "onBeginningOfSpeech: ");
}
#Override
public void onRmsChanged(float rmsdB) {
// Log.e(TAG, "onRmsChanged: ");
}
#Override
public void onBufferReceived(byte[] buffer) {
Log.e(TAG, "onBufferReceived: ");
}
#Override
public void onEndOfSpeech() {
Log.e(TAG, "onEndOfSpeech: ");
}
#Override
public void onError(int error) {
Log.e(TAG, "onError: " + error);
if (error == 7) {
speak();
}
}
#Override
public void onResults(Bundle results) {
ArrayList<String> resultsStringArrayList = results.getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);
String mainResult = resultsStringArrayList.get(0);
Log.e(TAG, "onResults: " + mainResult);
if (mainResult.equalsIgnoreCase("Okay App")) {
System.out.println("What's up?");
}
mSpeech.destroy();
mSpeech = null;
speak();
}
#Override
public void onPartialResults(Bundle partialResults) {
Log.e(TAG, "onPartialResults: ");
}
#Override
public void onEvent(int eventType, Bundle params) {
Log.e(TAG, "onEvent: ");
}
}
My problem is that the app is not listening permanently. It starts listening and then there is a result. When I don't say anything, it will be listening for about 2 seconds, then SpeechRecognizer will be destroyed, so another speech can begin. So in the time when it is getting destroyed, there is a break and when I say something in the meantime, it will not be recognized.
My app is not doing what I want. Probably I am doing it completely the wrong way. So what I am trying to achieve is a SpeechRecognizer that runs permanently and only handles when I say "Okay App". How can I do this?

That's how SpeechRecognizer is designed. It's not meant for permanent background listening, it's meant for short term immediate responses. Like when someone hits the mic button in the search bar. If you want permanent background listening, you're going to have to go lower level and do it yourself.

Immortal Service

I need to implement a project, such as chat. We decided to use the Socket.IO library. FCM is not considered. To receive messages in the background using Service. Here:
public class SocketServiceProvider extends Service {
private Socket mSocket;
private final String EVENT_NEW_MESSAGE = "new_message";
private final String LOG_TAG = "SocketServiceProvider";
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "created()");
realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
startForeground(1, new Notification());
if (mSocket == null)
mSocket = BaseApplication.getSocket();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "onStartedCommand()");
startSocket();
return START_STICKY;
}
private void startSocket() {
if (mSocket.connected()){
stopSocket();
}
mSocket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, onConnect);
mSocket.on(EVENT_NEW_MESSAGE, onNewMessage);
mSocket.connect();
}
private void stopSocket() {
mSocket.off();
mSocket.disconnect();
}
private Emitter.Listener onConnect = new Emitter.Listener() {
#Override
public void call(Object... args) {
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(() -> {
if (mSocket.connected()) {
isOnline = true;
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Connected!");
}
});
}
};
private Emitter.Listener onNewMessage = args -> {
final JSONObject data = (JSONObject) args[0];
final String username;
final String message;
try {
username = data.getString("from");
message = data.getString("message");
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("MainActivity", e.getMessage());
return;
}
Log.e(LOG_TAG, username + " wrote: " + message);
};
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "onDestroy()");
stopSocket();
ContextCompat.startForegroundService(this, new Intent(this, SocketServiceProvider.class));
}
}
The only problem is that when the phone goes into Doze mode, messages do not come. Tried to wake up with AlarmManager in onTaskRemoved(), onDestroy(), unsuccessfully.
Even with onDestroy() tried to call BroadcastReceiver, so that it started back my Service, just did not understand why, but its onReceive() method does not work.
Here is my last option, the code that posted. There is I usе startForegroundService. And this option worked, at least not dying. Only in this case, the battery discharges quickly
Googled, Write that using JobIntentService can be implemented, but nowhere described in detail.
Question: How can this be done and how did you implement such tasks? And how can this be achieved with JobIntentService?

How to pass a String from a UDP Listening Service to the MainActivity?

I have a service listening for UDP packets that is bound to my MainActivity (which is the only activity in the app). The service runs on its own thread and I can see the UDP messages as well as the parsed messages in logcat. I created a setParsedMessage() and a public getParsedMessage() in order to get the parsed string and send it to my main activity in order to change a TextView and an ImageView depending on what the parsed message is, however it does not appear to be retrieving the String for some reason. I read about this method on the Developer.Android website, however I've also seen something about using Handler to do this instead. Here is my code:
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
AlertAssignments mAlertAssignments;
Button startListeningButton;
boolean started;
int counter;
boolean mBound = false;
Context context;
ListenerService mListenerService;
TextView mTextView;
TextView mBlinkView;
ImageView mImageView;
private StartListening _StartListeningTask;
String messageFromService = "";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//start listener service
Intent listenerServiceIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ListenerService.class);
this.bindService(listenerServiceIntent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);
mTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.alert_text);
mBlinkView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.blinking_text);
Animation mAnimation = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
mAnimation.setDuration(50);
mAnimation.setStartOffset(20);
mAnimation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
mAnimation.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE);
mBlinkView.startAnimation(mAnimation); //animation value
mAlertAssignments = new AlertAssignments();
}
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
ListenerService.LocalBinder binder = (ListenerService.LocalBinder) service;
mListenerService = binder.getService();
mBound = true;
if(mBound) {
Log.e("UDP", "Service has been bound successfully");
}
else {
Log.e("UDP", "Service has not been bound");
}
readFromService();
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
mBound = false;
}
};
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
}
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
//unbind from service
if(mBound) {
this.unbindService(mConnection);
mBound = false;
}
}
private void readFromService() {
try {
Integer parsedMessage = Integer.valueOf(mListenerService.getParsedMessage());
mImageView.setImageResource(mAlertAssignments.alarmImages[parsedMessage]);
if(parsedMessage >= 10 && parsedMessage <= 19 && parsedMessage != 0) {
mTextView.setText(mAlertAssignments.alertTextMessages[parsedMessage]);
} else {
mBlinkView.setText(mAlertAssignments.alertTextMessages[parsedMessage]);
}
} catch(NumberFormatException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I had read that using the public getter like this:
Integer parsedMessage = Integer.valueOf(mListenerService.getParsedMessage());
would allow me to access the string value of mListenerService.getParsedMessage, however I'm guessing that may only work for started services, not bound services.
AlertAssignments is a simple enumeration that uses ordinal arrays to bind images and Strings to values, so mImageView.setImageResource(mAlertAssignments.alarmImages[parsedMessage]) would set the ImageView to an image. Finally, here is the Service:
public class ListenerService extends Service{
public String the_alarm_S;
public String parsedMessage = "";
private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder();
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
ListenerService getService() {
return ListenerService.this;
}
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mBinder;
}
DatagramSocket socket;
Thread UDPBroadcastThread;
void startListenForUDPBroadcast() {
UDPBroadcastThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
while (shouldRestartSocketListen) {
try {
socket = new DatagramSocket(12001);
socket.setReuseAddress(true);
String message = "";
byte[] recvBuf = new byte[1024];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(recvBuf, 1024);
Log.e("UDP", "Waiting for UDP broadcast");
try {
socket.receive(packet);
Log.e("UDP", "Received Packet");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
message = new String(packet.getData());
Log.e("UDP", "Got UDB broadcast message: " + message);
setParsedMessage(message);
if(socket != null) {
socket.close();
}
} catch (SocketException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
//if (!shouldListenForUDPBroadcast) throw new ThreadDeath();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.i("UDP", "no longer listening for UDP broadcasts cause of error " + e.getMessage());
}
}
});
UDPBroadcastThread.start();
}
private Boolean shouldRestartSocketListen = true;
private void setParsedMessage(String messageContents) {
the_alarm_S = messageContents;
String parseMessage[] = the_alarm_S.split("!!!");
Log.e("UDP", "Parsed message with value " + parseMessage[1]);
parsedMessage = parseMessage[1];
}
public String getParsedMessage() {
return parsedMessage;
}
private void stopListen() {
shouldRestartSocketListen = false;
if(socket != null) {
socket.close();
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
startListenForUDPBroadcast();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
stopListen();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
shouldRestartSocketListen = true;
startListenForUDPBroadcast();
Log.i("UDP", "Service started");
return START_STICKY;
}
}
Can someone give me the simplest method of getting the String from the service to the main activity, or if I already have it, where I am going wrong in using it? I would like to avoid having to rewrite my Service as an IntentService unless it's absolutely necessary to do so since this is a relatively simple object to pass to MainActivity
Thanks

You could try subscribing to the service. What I mean is pass some interface that the service calls to notify the activity about changes, here's an example I just tested:
A Subscriber interface
public interface ServiceSubscriber {
void messageCallback(String message);
}
Subscribe to the service using the Subscriber
public class TestService extends Service {
ArrayList<ServiceSubscriber> subscribers = new ArrayList<>();
private TestBinder testBinder = new TestBinder();
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
new Thread(){
#Override
public void run() {
while(true){
//this is where you are receiving UDP packets
doStuff();
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}.start();
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return testBinder;
}
private void doStuff() {
System.out.println("Service is doing stuff!");
//loop through your subscribers and notify them of your changes
//a loop here isn't very costly, if there aren't many subscribers
for (ServiceSubscriber subscriber : subscribers) {
subscriber.messageCallback("I'm doing stuff");
}
}
public class TestBinder extends Binder {
public TestService getService() {
return TestService.this;
}
}
public void subscribeToMessages(ServiceSubscriber subscriber) {
subscribers.add(subscriber);
}
public void unSubscribeToMessages(ServiceSubscriber subscriber) {
subscribers.remove(subscriber);
}
}
Now for the usual Binding Activity, where you define what you need to do with the Message Callback:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private TestService testService;
private Subscriber subscriber;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
bindService(new Intent(this, TestService.class),serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
private ServiceConnection serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
testService = ((TestService.TestBinder)service).getService();
subscriber = new ServiceSubscriber() {
#Override
public void messageCallback(String message) {
//I'm just printing out the message received
//Be careful if you need to do UI stuff to use a
//Handler
System.out.println(message);
}
}
testService.subscribeToMessages(subscriber );
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
}
};
}
Of course don't forget to unsubscribe on destroy.
Updating UI often doesn't break your app if you do it by using a handler
//activity fields
Handler handler
//in activity constructor
handler = new Handler();
//update UI by calling
handler.post(new Runnable(){
#Override
public void run(){
//update the UI here
}
EDIT: I forgot to keep a reference of the subscriber, to unsubscribe later. Changed from anonymous instance to a field.

Make below method to your sevice class:
private void sendMessage() {
Intent intent = new Intent("message");
intent.putExtra("message", your_message);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent);
}
And put the below code in your activity class:
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this)
.registerReceiver(mMessageReceiver,
new IntentFilter("message"));
}
private BroadcastReceiver mMessageReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String yourMessage = intent.getIntExtra("message",-1);
}
};
#Override
protected void onPause() {
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this)
.unregisterReceiver(mMessageReceiver);
super.onPause();
}
Note: -1 is for default value

SpeechRecognitionService with word recognition

The title it's not clear i think. In my project i want a service that runs in background and when the user says "hello phone" or some word/phrase my app starts to recognize the voice. Actually it "works" but not in right way... I have a service and this service detect the voice.

And i start service in my MainActivity just to try:
Intent i = new Intent(context, SpeechActivationService.class);
startService(i);
It detect the voice input...and TOO MUCH!!! Every time it detects something it's a "bipbip". Too many bips!! It's frustrating.. I only want that it starts when i say "hello phone" or "start" or a specific word!! I try to look at this https://github.com/gast-lib/gast-lib/blob/master/library/src/root/gast/speech/activation/WordActivator.java but really i don't know how use this library. I try see this question onCreate of android service not called but i not understand exactly what i have to do.. Anyway, i already import the gast library.. I only need to know how use it. Anyone can help me step by step? Thanks

Use setStreamSolo(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL, true) instead of setStreamMute. Remember to add setStreamSolo(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL, false) in case MSG_RECOGNIZER_CANCEL

Bump API Android crash

I have a huge problem with the bump API on Android. I setup everything like in the example, the first time I start my activity containing the bump code it works great, now if I go back and start it again it just crash due to a Fatal signal error... It happen right after I call the configure of the bump API.
May I need to not call it again ? But there is nothing to check if it already configured or not.

I finally resolved it few days ago. As I'm not a JAVA expert I think the bug is located within the Bump library.
If you do api.configure when it is already configured it simply crash. So I ended up making a singleton, ensuring that it is called only once
Here is the code
public class BumpConnection {
protected Context context;
private IBumpAPI api;

Use Latest bump api , available at git hub, read the README.md file carefully.
There is clearly mentioned that by using .aidl file (that is available in src folder) first compile it by using command
android update project -t android-15 -l path_to/bump-api-library -p path_to_your_project/
in your terminal..
If you are a Linux user then set path up to platform-tools then use this command with ./adb .
Then refresh the project , set this Library project as library in your test bump project..
Also replace your bumpapi key that you received via email
