| <p>This sample is a phone application that provides a chat experience in which |
| users can respond to messages with a quick voice response. New messages create |
| a notification with a "Reply" action. The notification is bridged from phone |
| to wearable, and selecting the "Reply" action on the wearable opens the voice |
| transcription UI allowing the user to speak a response.</p> |
| |
| <p>To keep the example simple and self-contained, instead of a real chat |
| application (which would require a server or a peer-to-peer connection), the |
| conversation is conducted with an chat bot on the phone. Each time the bot |
| responds, the phone app updates the notification and allows the user to write |
| back. This sample is primarily intended to demonstrate the voice-reply |
| capabilities provided by the Android Wear notification API.</p> |
| |
| <p>When using the emulator you can type a response instead of speaking it |
| aloud. To allow typed responses, ensure that your emulator image has the |
| "hardware keyboard present" option enabled. After typing your message into |
| the emulator window, hit the enter key and wait a few seconds for your |
| message to be sent.</p> |
