When i click on Voice Search in android it gives a pop up screen SPEAK NOW and after i speak say Hello then a WORKING screen comes.
Can i know how to disable the default Speak Now and Working screen in Voice Recognition in Android.
These screens are displayed as i use the API RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH.
How can i give my screens and know where actual processing takes place?
I'm guessing the user has solved their problem by now. For anyone seeing this today, the answer is to use the SpeechRecognizer http://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/SpeechRecognizer.html
The SpeechRecognizer lets you use speech recognition from within your own Activity, defining custom UI.

On Android, toast notifications work differently to UWP. It simply shows a little black popup message over the top of the app. In UWP, toast notifications are indistinguishable from push notifications from the user perspective. Is there a standardized way in UWP to simply show a quick notification inside the app that will disappear after a few seconds and not interfere with the user's experience? I mean without it looking like the user has received a push notification?
This article doesn't seem to hint at anything like what I am talking about.

The UWP Toolkit provides an InAppNotifications control for this.

In many cases, the Snackbar class supersedes Toast. While Toast is currently still supported, Snackbar is now the preferred way to display brief, transient messages to the user.
Take a look at Showing Pop-Up Messages to find out the most common use cases.
We ended up building something as part of our Xamarin UI library to handle this.
The code can be found here:
https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Adapt.Presentation/blob/master/Adapt.Presentation.UWP/Adapt/Presentation/UWP/InAppNotification.xaml.cs
There is a sample in this repo:
https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Adapt.Presentation.git
Note: the same is for Xamarin Forms, but if you crack the code open, you'll be able to figure out how to use this for any UWP app.
I am currently trying to find the most efficient way to continue a method in the background of my app.
I am probably adding location/gps to my app soon, so I was considering using that flag to keep the app Active in the background. However, I do not want to add that flag yet because I want to post an App Update before I add the location functionality.
I know the exceptions;
Apps that play audible content to the user while in the background, such as a music player app
Apps that keep users informed of their location at all times, such as a navigation app
Apps that support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Newsstand apps that need to download and process new content
Apps that receive regular updates from external accessories
Besides asking for a more generic idea then these ^, can someone explain the "external accessory" flag please? I am recording video from an outside device. However, I do not know what constitutes an "external accessory".
I also see that iOS7 has introduced new Multi-tasking functionality but I haven't seen any examples that I understand can someone also explain that? Maybe that is a viable solution?
Thanks in advance!
I'm now developing an app on iOS. With some reason, I want to use AssistiveTouch UI in my app. For example, there will display a button in my app like AssistiveTouch, if anyone press this button, four buttons will appear like AssistiveTouch, if anyone press one of there four buttons again, some action i set before will excuse.
Does apple support api about this? Or Is there any source code available?
You would have to reimplement this from scratch. There is no public API for either accessing the existing Assistive Touch feature (it has to be turned on by the user in the settings) or for creating a similar UI.
I would like to be able to turn VoiceOver on or off within my iOS app. The reason for this is I am trying to help a person with disabilities which render her unable to read messages (hence the need for VoiceOver), and who is also unable to triple click the home-button due to motor coordination problems. The way to the setting through Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver>VoiceOver>Flipswitch is far too long and complicated.
Is it possible, without jailbreaking the device, to change this setting in an app? The app doesn't need to make it to the App Store, if that helps.
Alternatively, is it easy to do this with a jailbroken device?
Another approach may be to simulate the triple-click on the home-button that automatically turns on VoiceOver. Is there any way to do this?
Get the app aHomeIcon.
Open the app and tap URL.
Insert the url: prefs:root=General&path=ACCESSIBILITY
Tap 'Done'.
Insert a name to be shown below the icon.
Tap the export button at the bottom of the page. Safari opens.
Add a bookmark and select 'to home-screen'.
Now you can tap that icon and you are redirected to the accessibility part of the settings app.
See this link for reference.
On the iPhone, when your phone is locked and screen off, if a SMS message comes in, the screen turns on and an alert shows up.
Currently I am using UIAlertView to create the alert dialog (with 2 buttons).
If the phone is off/locked, nothing shows up until I turn it back on and unlock it.
Is there any way to simulate the 'SMS preview' behavior, possibly with another class, and hopefully still allow the user to interact with the buttons there?
CFUserNotificationCreate is your friend.
Not in the official iPhone SDK? Too bad, I remember that a year ago on the big presentation of the yet-to-come SDK, an Apple evangelist/chief saying that the SDK would include exactly the same API as used internally by Apple... Pfff...

What you want to do is not currently supported by the SDK. You should file a request with Apple.
