Calling Api.ai From Android

I am building an android app in which I am calling api.ai. I want to parse the response and display it to users. Earlier I had written code in node.js which is as below: functi

Solution 1:

I'm connecting with api.ai from android app.

The steps to do are the following

1. Add the dependencies:

compile'ai.api:libai:1.2.2'compile'ai.api:sdk:2.0.1@aar'

2. Create an activity implementing AIListener.

3. Declare AIService,and AIDataService:

private AIService aiService;
    private AIDataService aiDataService;

4. Initialize config, services and add listener:

final ai.api.android.AIConfigurationconfig=newai.api.android.AIConfiguration("API_KEY",
        ai.api.android.AIConfiguration.SupportedLanguages.Spanish,
        ai.api.android.AIConfiguration.RecognitionEngine.System);

    // Use with text search
    aiDataService = newAIDataService(this, config);

    // Use with Voice input
    aiService = AIService.getService(this, config);

    aiService.setListener(this);

5. Execute async task to make request:

AIRequestaiRequest=newAIRequest();

    aiRequest.setQuery(request); 

//request--any string you want to send to chat bot to get there corresponding response.

if(aiRequest==null) {
        thrownewIllegalArgumentException("aiRequest must be not null");
    }

    final AsyncTask<AIRequest, Integer, AIResponse> task =
        newAsyncTask<AIRequest, Integer, AIResponse>() {
                    private AIError aiError;

    @Overrideprotected AIResponse doInBackground(final AIRequest... params) {
        finalAIRequestrequest= params[0];
            try {
                finalAIResponseresponse=    aiDataService.request(request);
                // Return response return response;
            } catch (final AIServiceException e) {
                aiError = newAIError(e);
                returnnull;
            }
        }

    @OverrideprotectedvoidonPostExecute(final AIResponse response) {
        if (response != null) {
            onResult(response);
        } else {
            onError(aiError);
        }
    }
};
task.execute(aiRequest);

6. onResult method

Resultresult= response.getResult();

If the result is a string, the string with the response will be in:

Stringspeech= result.getFulfillment().getSpeech();
