Recognizerintent.action_recognize_speech Blocked When A Tap Occurs

In my main activity I launch a new Intent: Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH); intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, 'What would you like

Solution 1:

If you're still having your problem, try this:

At the very top, declare a private GestureDetector:

private GestureDetector gestureDetector;

Then, in the onCreate() method, call a method that creates the GestureDetector (there is no reason to do it this way over just creating it in the onCreate() method - it just looks cleaner this way and is more organized):

publicvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ...
    gestureDetector = createGestureDetector(this);
}

The createGestureDetector() method looks like this:

privateGestureDetectorcreateGestureDetector(Context context) {
    GestureDetector gestureDetectorTemp = newGestureDetector(context, newGestureDetector.OnGestureListener() {
                        //we are creating our gesture detector here@OverridepublicbooleanonDown(MotionEvent motionEvent) {
            returnfalse;
        }

        @OverridepublicvoidonShowPress(MotionEvent motionEvent) {
        }

        @OverridepublicbooleanonSingleTapUp(MotionEvent motionEvent) {  //onTapreturntrue; //<---this is the key
        }
        @OverridepublicbooleanonScroll(MotionEvent motionEvent, MotionEvent motionEvent2, float distanceX, float distanceY) {
            returnfalse; //this is the wrong kind of scroll
        }
        @OverridepublicvoidonLongPress(MotionEvent motionEvent) {
        }

        @OverridepublicbooleanonFling(MotionEvent motionEvent, MotionEvent motionEvent2, float v, float v2) { 
            returnfalse;
        }
    });

    return gestureDetectorTemp;
}

@OverridepublicbooleanonGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if (gestureDetector != null) {
        return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
    }
    returnfalse;
}

You have to make sure to include the onGenericMotionEvent() method at the end there. That is what makes sure that your GestureDetector is notified every time a motion event occurs.

The thing that I added is very minute, but very important - by changing the return value to true on the onSingleTapUp() method, you are telling Glass that the event was handled correctly (which in this case, is just doing nothing).
