Q&A through SDK

[Sadre-abdelilah]

I wanna make Q&A like in the temi center but on my app, since i want the Questions and responses to be stored in my database, how can i do that ?

To make Q&A in your app, the key is to take over temi's default NLP & Q&A, thus the user question goes to your app, rather than temi's own Q&A service.

You will need to

1. override temi NLP as a Kiosk app, this will make temi skip its default NLP.
2. Listen to onAsrResult callback, which provides the final speech to your app.
3. Then you can feed the question to your service/database for a best matched intent, then react accordingly.

Thank you, the issue im facing now is in activating kiosk mode, can i know what im doing wrong, following the kiosk mode guide i still cant get it activated, no popup is shown, can i please know what we are doing wrong ?
in androidManifest :

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.robotemi.sdk.metadata.KIOSK"
        android:value="TRUE" />

    <meta-data
        android:name="@string/metadata_override_conversation_layer"
        android:value="true" />

and heres the mainActivity :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private Robot robot;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    robot = Robot.getInstance();

    // Request Temi to set this app as Kiosk app
    robot.requestToBeKioskApp();

    // Check if Kiosk Mode is activated
    if (robot.isKioskModeOn()) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Kiosk mode activated successfully!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Log.d("TemiKiosk", "Kiosk mode is active.");
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Kiosk mode is not active yet. Please approve it on Temi.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Log.w("TemiKiosk", "Kiosk mode is NOT active.");
    }

}

You don’t have to override conversation layer. Only override that when you don’t need temi default conversation layer which is the pop up in your case any more.

it succeeded to use the kiosk mode, but i need as you know to answer with my iwn answers, so i used AsrListener but the answers are still from default temi :
@OverRide
public void onAsrResult(String asrResult, SttLanguage sttLanguage) {
if (asrResult == null || asrResult.trim().isEmpty()) return;

    String recognizedText = asrResult.trim().toLowerCase();
    Log.d("TemiSpeech", "User said: " + recognizedText + ", language: " + sttLanguage);

    // 4) Look up the recognized text in your Q&A map
    String answer = qaMap.get(recognizedText);

    if (answer != null) {
        // Found an answer in our dictionary
        robot.speak(TtsRequest.create(answer, false));
    } else {
        // Not found - fallback response
        robot.speak(TtsRequest.create("I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for that.", false));
    }
}

also in the manifest heres what im using :

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.robotemi.sdk.metadata.KIOSK"
        android:value="TRUE" />
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.robotemi.sdk.metadata.NLU"
        android:value="true" />

In the meta-data it should be

com.robotemi.sdk.metadata.OVERRIDE_NLU

or use @string/metadata_override_nlu
