[android-developers] Anyone stuck manually configuring Android devices?
I have to setup a manufacturing process that configures several Android phones per day, it takes over an hour to do each one. I have to uninstall apps, install new apps, adjust settings etc... Does anyone else have this problem? I'm on my way to solving it using unit testing scripts, but it would help a bunch to know if other developers are suffering though manual configuration and what they are trying to setup their Android devices to do.

Re: [android-developers] NFC Application
Hi, I suggest looking at the example here: https://github.com/gast-lib/gast-lib/blob/master/app/src/root/gast/playground/nfc/NFCInventoryActivity.java The code helps you write an Activity that helps the user create the right NFC tags. Just copy and paste the code into your app and change the MIME type and what data it writes to the NFC.

Hi, This code library helps you with speech recognition and in particular has some nice code to help handle matching hard to match words using Soundex and Stemming and other things.

[android-developers] Re: Speech recognition: prevent or automatically handle No matches found dialog
You still can't give the speech recognizer a grammar, so you can't tell it what to expect. You are right though, even some canned, yes/no/ cancel or digit recognizers would be a huge help. Android has an AlertDialogBuilder, why not have a SpeechDialogBuilder with some simple options? The good news is that it appears that the 2.2 api does give us far greater control over the recognition dialog. For that I am quite overjoyed. On May 26, 5:18 pm, moa mich...@jixel.com wrote: have the 2.2 api changes done anything to help with this? Another feature I always wanted was the ability to define the valid responses for the engine to match against; yes/no and so. so you don;t get things like snow coming back as a response.

[android-developers] Speech Recognition makes a beep when the user Cancels. This is bad.
If the user cancels the speech dialog, it makes a little beeping sound. You might think that beeping sounds is an innocent little thing, but it broke my app. See, after my app is done speaking, it starts listening again for the user to get its attention. When the app beeps, it assumes this is the user getting the apps attention. Hence, the app gets into an infinite loop where the user cancels, it hears the cancel beep, it brings up the speech dialog again, the user cancels again, the app beeps, the app brings up the speech dialog again My question: How do I make the speech dialog stop beeping? Bigger question: In general, how do I gain better control over the android speech dialog? There's nothing I can do currently, but launch it.

[android-developers] Re: Hmm... at last ADC2 is out of our way ... tell about your app and experience
My app is Digital Recipe Sidekick. www.digitalrecipesidekick.com It's free. Here's a quick description: The DRS is a practical kitchen gadget that helps you collect and follow recipes. It has a cookbook that you can edit directly and easily expand. It also has an interactive recipe reader, which you control with voice commands so that you can remain focused on cooking and don’t have to awkwardly stop to look at a recipe. I developed it because there are many cooking apps in the world, but none are really useful. My complains about the other cooking app are: Who wants to meticulously track the inventory of your pantry? or why be limited to a hand full of recipes someone picked out? or do I really want my nice expensive G-phone to get all sticky as I try to scroll while cooking some cookies? My app attempts to solve all these problems by being voice controlled and editable. As for App development. My experience can be summed up as: Overjoyed when Google made something incredibly easy, and frustrated at all the many Android APIs and methods I had to learn. For example, Preferences: really easy, Starting the Speech Recognition: easy, Deploying/debugging/emulating: easy and quite helpful, properties and raw files: easy, Setting up a database: easy, using clipboard: easy, activities and intents, no issues really Hard: Making the UI look the way I want: For example, if you have one button that has fill_parent and a second button that is in the same layout, but has the min_width field set, how come the Android UI never shows the second button. There were many, many instances, where I had to do trial and error to get the UI to look good. Oh and there is XML vs Code configuration where you can't do the all the operations in code that you can in xml. Making the Speech work well: Google let me down, you really can't control the speech Recognition very well. Database: No support for Object to Relational Mapping, so I had to code all that myself, which was painful. ADC experience: great! They gave me plenty of time. I had time to test but only on my phone. It greatly altered my development cycle though. Normally, I would have released early and then gotten feedback, but instead since I was developing for the challenge, I had to hold back my work for months and just imagine what the users will say. I'm curious to see how my app will be liked by users, so far only a handful have seen it. I look forward to seeing and testing everyone else's apps. I'm excited to see all the games and augmented reality stuff everyone is doing. Cheers Greg On Sep 2, 9:54 am, Rud rudmerr...@gmail.com wrote: Simon, No, I agree with you about the calm. My game is into ADC2 and I'll see what happens with it. I do look forward to hearing people's reactions and what they find. I will put it on the market Real Soon Now.

[android-developers] Clarification on Unpublished APIs, specifically the TTS library
The guidelines say: It's very important that your apps only use published APIs. Some users might be judging your submissions on new phones you haven't seen or tested. If your apps depend on unpublished APIs, they might not work on some of these phones. Does this refer to unpublished Android APIs? The reason I ask is that my App uses the TTS library for speech synthesis. (http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/wiki/ TTSLibraryExplanation). Would you consider the TTS to be an unpublished API? When my app first loads up it will ahve to download some speech data files to the SD card.
