I don't like any of the listed commands in google glass and review team didn't approve my own. I want my glassware to by on official store so my question is:
Can I NOT use voice activation for an app and just start it using touchpad?
Absolutely it is possible to open an app without voice commands.
Instead of saying "Hello Glass" when the screen turns on, just tap on the touch pad, and it'll bring up a list of applications in chronological order of usage. You can scroll through them until you find the name of yours, and then tap to open it.

Do anyone have the similar problem to control Android apps (from google codelab - fitness app) with their voice, using Google Assistant?
In my app, I tried to activate widget using google assistant (app action tool test), but google assistant doesn't give any respond. Therefore, I used the example code google gave to run, but it still has similar problem that widget isn't invoked when I use app action tool test to test the app.
Sample code google provided:
https://github.com/actions-on-google/appactions-fitness-kotlin.git
the shortcut looks like below and how :
enter image description here
Update:
After updating the new running record, the app won't respond when I want to trigger widget after the first time I can do it successfully. Do anyone have similar question or know how to solve it?
App updates running record
The widget cannot update/display the new running record
widget cannot be trigger to get new running record
I'm assuming you're talking about the codelab titled Integrate Android Widgets with Google Assistant.
I've been able to get this codelab to work - mostly.
When testing using the App Actions test tool:
Make sure you have uploaded the app to a project in the Google Play Console. You'll only need to do this once, even if you change your code.
Make sure the account you're using for Android Studio, Play Console, and Google Assistant on your device are all the same.
Make sure you've compiled the app and deployed it to your device. The easiest way to do this just to run it from Android Studio the first time.
When you create the preview, set the name and Locale.
Even tho these are listed as "optional", these make it easier to debug.
The App name should be something you know will be recognized by voice and not used by any other app. I tend to use things like "Splat" and "Bogus".
Set the locale to en-US
Click "Create Preview"
Once the preview is created, you can test the widget running by
Setting the Intent to GET_EXERCISE_OBSERVATION
Changing the value in the "name" property to something like "run". ("Climbing" will also work, but tell you that you don't have that activity logged.)
Making sure the target device is the one you're testing on.
Clicking Run App Action
And you should see the widget appear in the Assistant on the device.
You don't need to use the test tool, however. Once you have created the preview with the Test Tool, you can just test it right on the device:
Start the Assistant by long-pressing on the home button.
Saying or typing a request such as "How far have I run with Bogus" ("Bogus" being the name I've chosen this time
If you have issues with the emulator, there are some other troubleshooting steps which may be useful depending on the error message you get.
Now, I did say "mostly". I have seen issues where it will stop responding at all, either via the Test Tool or directly via the Assistant. A few things that I've done that often (but not always) help:
Delete and then create the preview again.
Remember that the Preview is only available for a few hours.
Force stop the application.
Force stop the Google Assistant.
Even if you don't see a message, check out the Troubleshooting steps for "Sorry, I couldn't find that"
I've read in the pepper/aldebaran documentation as well as in posts here that it is possible to launch pepper behaviours directly from the tablet. My problem is that the projects and behaviours that I create with choregraphe do not appear on the tablet. I can launch the installed package/project without any problem using the trigger conditions, but have no idea how to launch them on the tablet. Thus my questions is where can I find them on the tablet. I ticked the box "may start on user request" in the properties dialog.
This was also new to me but i figured out something.
In Choregraph you need to start the application "j-tablet-browser"
Now a promt will appear on the Tablet "Allow USB Debugging on Tablet"
Select "Allow"
Now a promt will appear on the Tablet "Select a Home app"
Select "Launcher 3"
Now you can open an Android app that is called RALViewer.
This App will show you the icons of your Choregraph projects that are installed.
Then after restart Pepper, the tablet should show the normal Android
screen and ask you again to Select a Home app. You can also make "Laucher 3" the default starting app.
Maybe it is also possible to set RAL Viewer as the default starting app so you dont need to navigate in Android after startup.
I dont know if thats what was meant in the tutorials, but it offers a way to start your app from the tablet.
Thanks for explanation! I came already across the RALViewer but it did not show the applications that I have uploaded. In the meantime I have experienced that newly uploaded apps do not appear immediately, but only after a reboot or any other condition that I coul not determine yet. Anyhow this seems to answer the question.
I am beginner in AWS Sumerian, I want to start scene without clicking start button.
as shown in the image.
please help me thanks in advance.
You need to set an initial state in your state diagram, which may be the same as what is run when you press the start button. However if your start button runs certain scripts like speech, you may need to begin with an AWS SDK ready action, then transition.
Since I don't know your project, here is a sample tutorial from Amazon that you can walk through to see how it works: Sumerian Speech tutorial, will speak when run using initial state
And here are more: Sumerian Tutorials
Is it possible to have different behaviors when a glassware is launched via "OK Glass" voice command vs touch menu selection?
Specifically we are trying to prompt voice recognition if the glassware is launched with "OK Glass" voice command, otherwise go direct to the glassware if it is launched from the touch menu.
Or, is there a way for an app to know in which way it was launched?
We are trying to emulate what Google Play Music Glassware does.
The GDK does not yet provide a way to do this. If you would like to see this feature added, please file an enhancement request in our issue tracker!
There is no published standard way. Perhaps you could explore the call stack on entry (e.g. look at what a stacktrace would produce for the different states?
I'm still waiting for my Google Glass, but I have a question about how Glass voice commands work.conflicts will be handled? For example, how will "ok glass play a game" be handled? Do you have to reserve certain commands or user will be presented with apps using it to choose from?
You will be "limited" to certain commands, but the team is open to allowing for new commands as long as they are generic enough and meet some broad criteria for use. During the developer preview, you're able to add your own commands, but you should be mindful of what you'll need to be working with in the future.
In the event there is a conflict between the commands, another screen will come up after the voice command prompting you which target you want to use to complete the voice command. You can see this a bit today when you use the "Post an update to..." command how it will prompt you who you want to use to handle the command.
Google Glass has a special process to request recognition of particular voice commands ... "play a game" may not be one of the accepted ones .. we will have to see. See here for commands to use or for a way to submit a New command for inclusion.
