I am creating an application which has voice search facility? like in my music player if i want to play some music than i just speak song title than it will play that song. I already try with goggle voice search it works but i want to search off-line.How to do this? So any one please help me. Thanks in advance.
If you are referring to my application utter! I'm working on a developer API that will appear here in a couple of weeks time and allow applications to interact with it, providing the user has it installed of course.
Otherwise, for information on using offline recognition, see my answer on this post
You have to utilize a speech recognition system with a vocabulary embedded.
If you are using a vocabulary you do not need the web. You can process the information offline.
I think you need something like this:
Speech recognition by Microsoft

I want open an app that we haved coded without realse it in play store with Google assistant,
Is it possible?
Cuz when say app name it doesn't recognize our app and go to search section.
Yes, you can open your which is not published on play store with google assistant.
I have tried it with my apps and it works fine.
Just make sure your are pronouncing the name correctly.
you can also say " Open App Name from my device" so it will not go for search.
I uploaded a small video demonstrating google assistant opening an unpublished app

The Android TV (ATV) app I'm working on has voice control capabilities. Basically, when the user presses the microphone button on a remote controller, the key event (identified by KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SEARCH) is handled by the app, speech recognition starts (using android.speech.SpeechRecognizer), the results (parsed speech) are obtained and parsed further by the app logic (e.g. showing the user search results or performing some in-app action).
Everything has been working as intended and described above, until, quite recently, Google Assistant (GA) was introduced to ATV platforms (the first one being Nvidia Shield box). Now, when the RCU mic button is pressed, the GA overlay appears and the mic key event doesn't even reach the app.
For the last few days I've done some extensive research (documentation, internet, forums, stackoverflow etc.) and experimented with some potential workarounds, but nothing's worked so far and I haven't been able to find any definite information on the topic (probably due to the ATV+GA combination being rather new on the scene, and the ATV ecosystem not being as large as the Android one).
The best hint I got so far is what's been done with the Spotify app for Android TV. When it's run on an ATV device with no GA, it basically behaves as I described above; but when GA is present, the GA overlay appears, receives the parsed speech and shows the search results, with results from Spotify in the first line - so, the Spotify app is integrated with GA, and this integration replaces the in-app voice control mechanism. This suggests that either there is no way to ignore/disable GA inside your app in order to receive the mic key event and proceed with voice control as usual, or at least this is the preferred way of handling voice commands now. It also shows that there are apps for ATV that approach voice control the way I described, so maybe someone here has already encountered similar problem.
My question(s):
is it possible to prevent Google Assistant from taking over RCU mic button signal?
is it ok to do so? (by "not ok" I would mean - are there any official guidelines that discourage such behavior - or at least are there valid reasons not to do so?)
if so, can it be done?
if not, is there a resource documenting how to integrate with GA (the way Spotify for ATV app does)?
Starting with your last question:
if not, is there a resource documenting how to integrate with GA (the way Spotify for ATV app does)?
I wrote about how to integrate on the Android Developer's Blog. Spotify has onboarded their content catalog to Google's services which is why the Google Assistant is able to work so well. You can achieve similar results if you make your app searchable (covered in the blog).
is it possible to prevent Google Assistant from taking over RCU mic button signal?
No, not at this time. The Google Assistant is a system app that takes control over the mic to give a uniform experience across all apps.

You can still have an in-app search experience. There is an example in the leanback sample. You will need to set a listener on a BrowseFragment and implement a SearchFragment. We know this can be confusing, have in-app search and Google Assistant search competing, but we are working on how to improve this.
I am a total noob on this site so please be patient. I am trying to initiate a Video Chat/Call without any user interaction or confirmation.
I found this:
Uri imUri = new Uri.Builder().scheme("xmpp").authority("gtalk").query("call;type=video").appendPath(email).build();
Intent IM = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
IM.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
IM.setData(imUri);
startActivity(IM);

This gets me very close, but I then have to click an "Invite" button to continue. Is there a way I can emulate a KeyEvent to click this button or skip the popup window entirely with root access?
I don't even necessarily need to use Google Video Chat if someone has found a different way to initiate a Video call to a certain contact via Skype, Vtok,Fringe, ooVoo or whatever without user interaction.
I have also found OpenTok which after building a sample server and client on my site I have found that it works on desktop browsers but not in Android browsers. Please don't steal/use my apiKey or sessionId.
I have also found libjingle which will allow me to use Google Talk's peer-to-peer voice and video chat. I am thinking this will be the way to go, but it means building a video chat app from the ground up and wrapping it around these libraries... yeah. Anybody done this already?
I know this is essentially a duplicate thread, but I have searched for days and days for an answer and this is the closest I have come to getting this done.
BTW the reason I need this without user interaction is for a Telepresence robot, thus there won't be anybody actually holding/using the phone when I initiate this call.
Please HELP!
You'd have to actually change the built in android app (Talk?) that receives this intent to automatically accept these types of intents. There's no way to do it from a standalone app for security reasons.
I don't think that live video streaming will work natively in Android Browsers, since they dont support WebRTC (Yet) and do not support flash. With that said, OpenTok has an Android SDK in beta that lets you stream live video from android phone to browser, another android phone, or even an iOS phone as long as everyone is connected to the same session. Like you said, this does not work over the browser and you would have to build a native app.
I have an audio file in .3gp format on my Android device which I wish
to upload to YouTube. I know that YouTube is a video upload site and
that I need to convert this sound file to video.
I just want an image to display all the time the audio is playing.
Google tells me there are number of tools that can help me. But I want
to do this via java code from my Android device.
Please help.
Thanks.
There are tools such as FFMPEG available for free that allow you to, essentially, mix and convert heterogenous streams. That is you can add a bitmap to a video, create video from slide shows and then add sound etc. (See a related question I asked here).
These programs can be executed from within java applications by making Runtime.exec(..) calls.
Sun has an example for stitching multiple JPEGs together into a movie, you can find it here. You should be able to take this example, (its fairly robust), and add what you need to it.
I recommend looking into the Java Media Framework (FAQ)
You can find a vast collection of sample applets/code at the Sun Solutions page. You can find the API on this page. I do hope this is compatible on the Android platform, as I haven't had any personal experience developing for it. But it might be a good place to start.
Where to get streaming (live) video and audio from camera example for Android?
Suppose I want to create some live video streaming service app so I'll have some cool server at the back end. And I know how to do that part. Suppose I have some stand alone app for PCs now I want to go on to mobile devices. So I want to see some sample app grabing audio and video streams from Phone, Synchronizing them, encoding somehow, and sending LIVE stream to server. I need any Open-Source sample that will do this or something like this. Where can I get such one?
Ole have you been able to find any good examples of video or audio broadcasting yet? The best that I have found so far is the SIPDroid project (www.sipdroid.org). I haven't had a chance to review it in depth, but it looks promising.
Here are some project that you want
Ip Camera
http://code.google.com/p/ipcamera-for-android
SipDroid
http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/source/browse/trunk/src/org/sipdroid/sipua/ui/VideoCamera.java
You can get the codes using SVN or other clients.
Yet to me, the both projects still have issues. If you get the one working well, please tell me.
