How can i change the speaker label in ibm watson speech to text api in android?

Good Day!
I need help in developing my android app. is this possible to change the default name of speaker label to a custom one like a person name. i would like to create like this conversation as I example..
Jhon: Hi
Marie: Hello
Jhon: Good Day To you marie..
Marie:......
Please help i need help if is this possible to change the default name of speaker label i need your help
i created like this
private RecognizeOptions getRecognizeOptions(InputStream captureStream) {
return new RecognizeOptions.Builder()
.audio(captureStream)
.contentType(ContentType.OPUS.toString())

.timestamps(true)
.speakerLabels(true)
.maxAlternatives(3)
.smartFormatting(true)
.timestamps(true)
.wordConfidence(true)

this is the method of .speakerLabels

}
the output in that is like this`
speaker 0: Hi
speaker 1: Hello
speaker 0: Good Day To you marie..
speaker 1:......
and i would like to output like this
Jhon: Hi
Marie: Hello
Jhon: Good Day To you marie..
Marie:......
my question is. Is this possible to create like that in ibm watspon speech to text api because i read in their documentation their are not mentioning on how to change the labels i just want to clarify it if is this possible

There is nothing in the API nor the documentation to suggest that it is possible to modify the labels in the output using the service itself. https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/speech-to-text/output.html#speaker_labels

BLE tempature sensor service detection

I have source code which is able to scan for BLE devies which are temp sensors, but when scanning it will not show any other BLE decies. I want to modify this code attached so that I can scan and view all BLE devices, regardless if it is a temp sensor. Can someone please explain me or show me how i can do this. here are the codes snippets to grab BLE Temp sensor data.

As far as I can see, the code is scanning for every BLE device already, there are no service uuid restrictions in the scanning mBluetoothAdapter.startLeScan(this);
The issue with this code (as with many examples) is that it assumes every device to be of their own type (Temperature sensor in this case).
The assumption is here:
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device, final int rssi, final byte[] scanRecord) {
final TemperatureData td = TemperatureDataParser.parse(device, scanRecord);
The only way to know what services a device support is by connecting to it, do service discovery and the check for the supported services.

Google Maps Android V2 and Direction API

I'm developing an app where i need to know the path between the current user posistion and a point of interest.
I'm using android 2.3.3, google maps android v2 and direction api.
My problem is that all the code i have found is for the old version of the maps, and I also tried to adapt the code but i failed. I try to change GeoPoint (not supported in this new versione) in LatLng.
the problem is that i can't display the path, to do it i create a new polyline and i add it to the map.
i post my code:

every suggestion is well accepted

If you don't need custom code try this lib https://github.com/jd-alexander/Google-Directions-Android only a few lines of code to do what you need.

I am doing like the following. I think this will help you.
Marker interestedMarker;
private void plot_direction(){
if (currentSelectedPin !=null) {
LatLng origin = new LatLng(currentLocation.getLatitude(),currentLocation.getLongitude());
new GoogleMapDirection(getActivity(), origin, interestedMarker.getPosition(), new DirectionListener() {
#Override
public void onDirectionPointsReceived(ArrayList<RouteModel> routeList, String distance, String duration) {
PolylineOptions lineOptions = null;
for (RouteModel route : routeList) {
lineOptions = new PolylineOptions();
lineOptions.addAll(route.getSteps());
lineOptions.width(20);
lineOptions.color(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), R.color.map_route));
}
//For removing existing line
if (routeMap!=null){
routeMap.remove();
}
if(lineOptions != null) {
routeMap = mMap.addPolyline(lineOptions);
}
}
});
}
}
GoogleMapDirection class is as follows
public class GoogleMapDirection {
private DirectionListener listener;

That happened to me too. To solve it - in function 'direction', when you start to build the jsonURL string, add 'http://' at the beginning, just before 'map.google.com...'.

I think the problem here is that you are targeting newer APIs , that requires accessing the network not in the main thread. Change the definition of getInputStream() (At XMLParser?) to support networking in a seperate thread.

How to draw a path on a map using kml file?

Can I parse kml file in order to display paths or points in Android? Please could you help me with that?
This is kml sample code which I would like to display in android google map:

<description>Examples of paths. Note that the tessellate tag is by default
set to 0. If you want to create tessellated lines, they must be authored
(or edited) directly in KML.</description>

When I'm loading this file to standard web google map it displays it nicely but when I'm trying the same thing with android google map it doesn't do that. It just takes me to some locations and that's it. I was thinking of changing listener class. Currently it looks like that:
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener
{
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
if (loc != null) {
latitude = (loc.getLatitude() * 1E6);
longitude = (loc.getLongitude() * 1E6);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Location changed : Lat: " + latitude +
" Lng: " + longitude,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
GeoPoint p = new GeoPoint(
(int) (loc.getLatitude() * 1E6),
(int) (loc.getLongitude() * 1E6));
mc.animateTo(p);
mapView.invalidate();
}
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,
Bundle extras) {
//TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
Please can someone tell me what's I'm doing wrong here?

In above code, you don't pass the kml data to your mapView anywhere in your code, as far as I can see.
To display the route, you should parse the kml data i.e. via SAX parser, then display the route markers on the map.
See the code below for an example, but it's not complete though - just for you as a reference and get some idea.
This is a simple bean I use to hold the route information I will be parsing.
package com.myapp.android.model.navigation;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class NavigationDataSet {
private ArrayList<Placemark> placemarks = new ArrayList<Placemark>();
private Placemark currentPlacemark;
private Placemark routePlacemark;
public String toString() {
String s= "";
for (Iterator<Placemark> iter=placemarks.iterator();iter.hasNext();) {
Placemark p = (Placemark)iter.next();
s += p.getTitle() + "\n" + p.getDescription() + "\n\n";
}
return s;
}
public void addCurrentPlacemark() {
placemarks.add(currentPlacemark);
}
public ArrayList<Placemark> getPlacemarks() {
return placemarks;
}
public void setPlacemarks(ArrayList<Placemark> placemarks) {
this.placemarks = placemarks;
}
public Placemark getCurrentPlacemark() {
return currentPlacemark;
}
public void setCurrentPlacemark(Placemark currentPlacemark) {
this.currentPlacemark = currentPlacemark;
}
public Placemark getRoutePlacemark() {
return routePlacemark;
}
public void setRoutePlacemark(Placemark routePlacemark) {
this.routePlacemark = routePlacemark;
}
}
And the SAX Handler to parse the kml:
package com.myapp.android.model.navigation;
import android.util.Log;
import com.myapp.android.myapp;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;

Thank Mathias Lin, tested and it works!

There is now a beta available of Google Maps KML Importing Utility.
It is part of the Google Maps Android API Utility Library. As documented it allows loading KML files from streams
KmlLayer layer = new KmlLayer(getMap(), kmlInputStream, getApplicationContext());
or local resources
KmlLayer layer = new KmlLayer(getMap(), R.raw.kmlFile, getApplicationContext());
After you have created a KmlLayer, call addLayerToMap() to add the imported data onto the map.
layer.addLayerToMap();

Mathias Lin code working beautifully. However, you might want to consider changing this part inside drawPath method:
if (lngLat.length >= 2 && gp1.getLatitudeE6() > 0 && gp1.getLongitudeE6() > 0
&& gp2.getLatitudeE6() > 0 && gp2.getLongitudeE6() > 0) {
GeoPoint can be less than zero as well, I switch mine to:
if (lngLat.length >= 2 && gp1.getLatitudeE6() != 0 && gp1.getLongitudeE6() != 0
&& gp2.getLatitudeE6() != 0 && gp2.getLongitudeE6() != 0) {
Thank you :D
