Intent intent = new Intent(this, YOUR_ACTIVITY_NAME.class);
intent.putExtra("DATA", text);
startActivity(intent);
// Or else you can do whatever you want to do here with that text
}
}
Then in your other activity
String data = getIntent().getStringExtra("DATA");
YOUR_TEXTVIEW_NAME.setText(data);

This is basics of Android so before answering I suggest you to go
through basic tutorials before posting on Stackoberflow.
Now,
Here is how you can access the items from your string_array.
String[] chapters= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.chapters);
Now,here is pseudo code that might help you.
btn1.setOnClickListener(
your_text_view.setText(chapters[0])
)
//Here 0 means your first item, likewise you can access items by their index in
array

unfortunately your has stopped working

I'm trying to make a simple number guessing game in android. A random number is generated when the app in launched and the user has to guess the number. The result is displayed in the form of a long toast. But when I run the app and try and enter a number the emulator says: "unfortunately High Low Game has stopped working". I have tried resetting the app and also clearing data from my emulators settings menu but it didn't make a difference. I sense something is wrong with my java code but haven't been able to figure out what is the problem so far.
Here is the java code:
package com.example.pooria.hilowgame;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import java.util.Random;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
int randomNum;
public void buttonClicked(View view){
EditText numField=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.numField);
int numFieldVal= Integer.parseInt(numField.toString());
String toastMessage= "";
if(numFieldVal>randomNum){
toastMessage= "Higher";
}else if(numFieldVal==randomNum){
toastMessage= "You made the right guess!!!";
}else{
toastMessage= "Lower";
}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),toastMessage,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Random randomGenerator= new Random();
int randomNum= randomGenerator.nextInt(101);
}
}
and the xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

See the marked lines. Code is changed to the correct, but I added text to explain what is wrong.
Change
int numFieldVal= Integer.parseInt(numField.toString());
to
int numFieldVal= Integer.parseInt(numField.getText().toString());
The unchanged line is the cause of the crash.
And for a game related problem:
This line:
int randomNum = randomGenerator.nextInt(101);
is wrong. You create a new local variable, meaning the global randomNum is 0 - always. The solution is simple - remove the int, so it references the main randomNum variable.
And by doing that, you have solved unwanted results and solved the crash.

how to give an audio file as input to the google speech to text api?

currently i made a 'speechtotext' app using the google speech to text api.
It takes whatever i speak near the mic as an input and displays the text form of it by sending it to google and getting the result from it.
Well,instead of speaking,i want to give an audio file as the input(which i have previously recorded using 'sound recorder' app) to my "speech to text" app.
This audio file is present in the sdcard of the phone.
Google speech to text api should choose this audio file as the input and then give its text form as the output.
I have pasted my "100% working" code of the xml and the java files for your references.
my xml file :

txtText.setText("");
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException a) {
Toast t = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"YOUR DEVICE DOESNT SUPPORT SPEECH TO TEXT \n install google vocie search ",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
}
}
});
}
#Override

super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch (requestCode) {
case RESULT_SPEECH: {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
ArrayList<String> text = data
.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
txtText.setText(text.get(0));
}
break;
}
}
}
}
Is it possible to do what i want to do ?? if so,how can it be done ?????
A detailed explanation would be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance. :-)

comparing Text from Speech To Text API to text in a TextView

Brief description of Application thus far:
The user sees a TextView that has a word. The user will click on an ImageButton that will trigger the Speech To Text API and say the word given on the TextView. If the text from the Speech To Text and text in TextView match, then the TextView will change text to, "correct!" etc.
The issue is comparing the string text values. The TextView has "hello." The SpeechToText api returns "Hello" when I say "Hello," but the text values are considered different.

Any Ideas?

The problem you are facing can be solved easily by changing one line in your code, i.e:
if(givenText.getText().toString().equals(inputText.getText().toString())){
Change that to:
if(givenText.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(inputText.getText().toString())){
Also, a general observation that I made when I was working on a similar app, I noticed that the Speech Recognition API isn't perfect and will not work well unless you/your user has an accent that matches the one that the API was trained on. So, in order to fix this you should consider going through the ArrayList of strings returned and checking ALL of them to see if any one of them matches the text you showed the user.

Button OnClickListener not working

I am new to Android. I am trying to get input from the EditText and displaying it in TextView with the help of button. When I click the button nothing happens. Please help, here is my MainActivity.java code -
package com.example.addname;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button b1;
TextView v1;
EditText t1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
t1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
v1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(t1.getText().toString()=="")
{
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
and here is my activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="#string/hello_world" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
android:ems="10" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_below="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_marginTop="48dp"
android:text="Button" />
</RelativeLayout>

Instead of
if(t1.getText().toString()=="")
{
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
You can use
if(t1.getText().isEmpty()) // isEmpty() is only available from API 9 and Above
{
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
or this
if(t1.getText().trim().length == 0)
{
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
Don't compare strings using ==. You're actually comparing reference of an object. To compare strings, use equals() method.

I'd recommend comparing strings with .equals() since Objects compared with == usually fails (== compares references, not Object content).
if(t1.getText().toString().equals("")))
in your case though,since you're comparing an empty String, you can also use
if (t1.getText().toString().length == 0)
Then note that once you set the text, you're setting v1's text to an empty string since your logic indicates that only upon an empty string you set v1's text. So I'd recommend getting rid of the if altogether:
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
