Is there a specific command or method to activate voice search from a python script? - ppongoo - 2024-03-13
Hi!
I'm having difficulty popping up voice search on my Android TV.
I have a bluetooth remote connected to ATV which doesn't adhere to standard remote button specifications.
I've tried every key setting and Key-map editor I can, but this remote ignores all settings and overrides to weird functions..
Long press will never work with this remote controller.
As an alternative I want to make a script that pops up the voice search as the keyboard skin opened on my add-on.
something like
keyboard = Keyboard()
keyboard.doModal()
query = voicesearch_popup() and getText()?
or is it possible to create a script to long press the Play button key?
keyboard = Keyboard()
keyboard.doModal()
executebuiltin("Runscript(something Something)")

<VirtualKeyboard>
<keyboard>
<c mod="longpress">noop</c>
<left>Left</left>
<right>Right</right>
<up>Up</up>
<down>Down</down>
<return>Select</return>
<enter>Select</enter>
<backspace>Backspace</backspace>
<browser_back>Backspace</browser_back>
<browser_back mod="longpress">PreviousMenu</browser_back>
<play_pause mod="longpress">Enter</play_pause>
<browser_search>VoiceRecognizer</browser_search>
<menu>VoiceRecognizer</menu>
<return mod="longpress">VoiceRecognizer</return>
<enter mod="longpress">VoiceRecognizer</enter>
<play_pause>VoiceRecognizer</play_pause>
kinda resolved the problem myself.
added line to the "script.keymap" / resources / lib / action.py
["Virtual Keyboard", [
"voicerecognizer", "Voice Recognizer"
...
]]
but it would be good to know how to call a 'voicerecognizer' with a script.
