[Android][ Sending Voice Input to Android TV using Android TV Remote Control v2

I'm currently working on an Android Remote Control application that can connect and control Android TV. I have successfully paired the devices and can now send different keycode commands to control the TV box.

The next feature that I want to implement is about sending voice input to the TV. To open voice input, I can either use KEYCODE_SEARCH(84), manually clicking on Google Assistant, or manually clicking on the Mic icon like in YouTube app.

But what's next?

After a few days researching, there aren't many documents about this and the existing public projects are all using Remote Control V1. As far as I know, I need to do something with RemoteVoicePayload, RemoteVoiceBegin, and RemoteVoiceEnd.

Have you worked on this before? What are the procedures for this? How can I simultaneously speak to the phone and the text get updated on the TV?

Thank you!

Solution

  • I.m currently working on it too. As far as I know, after record, you will need to convert file to byteArray, then it will look like (I assume that you have connected TV successful)

    fun createVoiceCommandPayload(value: ByteArray): ByteArray {
        val remoteMessage: RemoteMessage = RemoteMessage.newBuilder()
            .setVoicePayload(
                ByteString.copyFrom(value)
            ).build()
        return addLengthAndCreate(remoteMessage.toByteArray())
    }

    then using outputsteam to write it on, hope it help
