1 <p><b>About: </b> 2 This sample is a phone application that provides a chat experience in which users can respond to 3 messages with a quick voice response. New messages create a notification with a "Reply" action. 4 The notification is bridged from phone to wearable, and selecting the "Reply" action on the 5 wearable opens the voice transcription UI allowing the user to speak a response.</p> 6 7 <p>To keep the example simple and self-contained, instead of a real chat application (which would 8 require a server or a peer-to-peer connection), the conversation is conducted with an chat bot on 9 the phone. Each time the bot responds, the phone app updates the notification and allows the user 10 to write back. This sample is primarily intended to demonstrate the voice-reply capabilities 11 provided by the Android Wear notification API.</p> 12 13 <p>When using the emulator you can type a response instead of speaking it aloud. To allow typed 14 responses, ensure that your emulator image has the "hardware keyboard present" option enabled. 15 After typing your message into the emulator window, hit the enter key and wait a few seconds for 16 your message to be sent.</p> 17 18 19 <p><b>How to run:</b> Install the Application APK on the companion and run it. A notification will 20 automatically be bridged onto the wearable, with a "Reply" action.</p> 21 <p><b>Screenshots:</b> 22 <figure> 23 <img src="screenshots/companion_eliza_chat.png" alt="Eliza chat when opened on companion" 24 width="216" height="384"> 25 <img src="screenshots/wearable_eliza_notification.png" alt="Initial notification on 26 wearable" width="140" height="140"> 27 <img src="screenshots/wearable_voice_reply.png" alt="Initial notification on 28 wearable" width="140" height="140"> 29 <img src="screenshots/companion_eliza_chat_response.png" alt="Response received on 30 companion" width="216" height="384"> 31 <figcaption>The progressing stages of a chat with Eliza.</figcaption> 32 </figure> 33 </p> 34
