I'm making an app that will work with Android Wear,
And I wanted to implement a command into Google's "Ok Google" option.
I saw this page:
http://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/voice.html
But it's related only to apps that include Activities in the Android Wear.
I wanted to ask:
- Can I add custom commands? I mean, those who does not start with the word "Start"?
- Can I add commands that will do another thing than just opening the app? Like running a method?
If it's not the place to ask this, can you give me an email/link to Google Developers help/support? thanks.
For apps that run on the Android Wear Device:
- No, the list of system-provided voice actions is fixed (and listed here). You can set your application to be able to respond to them (for example, to take a note), but you cannot add new ones.
- Yes. When already inside your app, you you can use
startActivityForResult()
using the ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH
to get voice input. You could then use the returned string to execute whatever you want.
Meanwhile, if you're just displaying notifications from an Android app running in a handheld, then you cannot presently have voice actions at all (at least in a literal sense). What you may have, though, is a notification action that requests voice input. That input will then be passed as an extra in the Intent that is delivered to the app in the handheld.
