VoiceInteractor
extends Object
| java.lang.Object | |
| ↳ | android.app.VoiceInteractor |
Interface for an Activity to interact with the user through voice. Use
Activity.getVoiceInteractor
to retrieve the interface, if the activity is currently involved in a voice interaction.
The voice interactor revolves around submitting voice interaction requests to the
back-end voice interaction service that is working with the user. These requests are
submitted with submitRequest(VoiceInteractor.Request), providing a new instance of a
VoiceInteractor.Request subclass describing the type of operation to perform -- currently the
possible requests are VoiceInteractor.ConfirmationRequest and VoiceInteractor.CommandRequest.
Once a request is submitted, the voice system will process it and eventually deliver the result to the request object. The application can cancel a pending request at any time.
The VoiceInteractor is integrated with Activity's state saving mechanism, so that
if an activity is being restarted with retained state, it will retain the current
VoiceInteractor and any outstanding requests. Because of this, you should always use
Request.getActivity to get back to the activity of a
request, rather than holding on to the activity instance yourself, either explicitly
or implicitly through a non-static inner class.

class |
VoiceInteractor.AbortVoiceRequest
Reports that the current interaction can not be complete with voice, so the application will need to switch to a traditional input UI. |
class |
VoiceInteractor.CommandRequest
Execute a vendor-specific command using the trusted system VoiceInteractionService. |
class |
VoiceInteractor.CompleteVoiceRequest
Reports that the current interaction was successfully completed with voice, so the application can report the final status to the user. |
class |
VoiceInteractor.ConfirmationRequest
Confirms an operation with the user via the trusted system VoiceInteractionService. |
class |
VoiceInteractor.PickOptionRequest
Select a single option from multiple potential options with the user via the trusted system VoiceInteractionService. |

A set of voice prompts to use with the voice interaction system to confirm an action, select an option, or do similar operations. |
class |

boolean submitRequest (VoiceInteractor.Request request, String name)
Submit a new VoiceInteractor.Request to the voice interaction service. The request must be
one of the available subclasses -- VoiceInteractor.ConfirmationRequest, VoiceInteractor.PickOptionRequest,
VoiceInteractor.CompleteVoiceRequest, VoiceInteractor.AbortVoiceRequest, or VoiceInteractor.CommandRequest.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
request |
VoiceInteractor.Request:
The desired request to submit. |

An optional name for this request, or null. This can be used later with
getActiveRequests() and getActiveRequest(String) to find the request. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
Returns true of the request was successfully submitted, else false. |
boolean[] supportsCommands (String[] commands)
Queries the supported commands available from the VoiceInteractionService. The command is a string that describes the generic operation to be performed. An example might be "org.example.commands.PICK_DATE" to ask the user to pick a date. (Note: This is not an actual working example.)
