VoiceInteractor

public final class VoiceInteractor
extends Object

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.

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long millis) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object.
