All I want to know is, can I use my Galaxy Tab3 as a voice recorder. (Dictaphone) and if so, how is it done? Please explain.

This whole site is so complicated. What for instance does @sticky' mean' among many other strange and very technical terms?
Hope I get an answer but I'm not holding my breath.

[Q] Handsfree dialing

Why is there only in the Android versions from the Nexus a voice dialing possibility? I like the mdeejay build, but again no voicedialing. The same problem with de original windows mobile HD2. I know, that you can use google voice search, but this mostly doesn't work with my Jabra. I still have to push buttons on the device itself, instead of REAL handsfree (pushing the button on m Jabra). Could someone please develop an app, that does the same in the HTC android, or is there already a working solution?
are you seriously complaining
Why is there only in the Android versions from the Nexus a voice dialing possibility....
............there are other build besides nexus....
I know, that you can use google voice search, but this mostly doesn't work with my Jabra....
.............get in a long line of people wanting this....

.............are you serious.......

once again are you serious
Yes, of course I am serious. It's a mobile phone, so I should be able to use my phone handsfree. What's strange about that?
Nothing you are asking for stuff that alt of people want did you read anything about what works and what doesn't when you start asking and making threads requesting things is like a slap in the face to the devs who already know what's wrong just be happy with what's is working, or at the last post in the right section, like the general section..or post in the thread of the build your using

The question was not unreasonable. Was I complaining? I have searched all the forum, but nowhere I found a post about a good working handsfree feature. If there is anyone, who is not taking a forum-member serious, than it's you, thatruth132. If you don't have an answer, don't react. Everyone is making comments on builds, and that is what this forum all about. And say yourself, a basic handsfree-dialing possibility should be on a mobile phone. I was not slapping anyone's face.
I finally found a build, dat has the feature: mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.7][Kernel: mattc 2.6.32.9 #4, and I am very happy with it. All works fine!
And to all the other developers: I admire all your work, and please go on. Again thank you!

PLEASE CLOSE-------Total voice control for blind/low vision people on android

Does anybody know of an app or hack/mod that gives total voice control for people of low vision/blind?
I'm trying to find such a thing for a friend who wants to get an android tablet but this seems to be the biggest drawback- no apps that do this. I have found some that mainly do voice and texting but nothing to the extent of total voice control.
Now by voice control I mean something that can be activated by a short press or double press of the power button or volume keys etc.
Please no smart ass remarks. Regardless of a persons ability to see or not, they should be able to use a device if they so choose.
Thanks for any help in advance.
you are evolutionary success, act like it
Any suggestions? Anyone?
you are evolutionary success, act like it
if u are asking for a powerful siri alternative for android, there is no such thing. To be honest I'm not sure even siri would be powerful enough to do everything u are asking. Sorry
There is nothing like that for Android.
Thanks guys, appreciate your time in looking

[Q] Video chat between Android and iOS?

Hey people.
I am currently looking for an app that will allow me to video chat with somebody who has an iPhone. Doesn't seem like a difficult question yet, does it? I know. Finding what I described so far isn't a problem at all, but the next part is.
I am sometimes not in a position to talk out loud, so I would like to type, while still seeing the other person, or only losing picture as short as possible.
Weird right? I am able to look at my screen and be looked at by somebody else, but not able to talk out loud. I know. And I know this isn't an easy question, but if it was an easy one, I wouldn't have to come to you guys .
In short, I want:
- Video chat
- Being able to type in a video chat, without losing video for too long
If anybody can help me, or point out an app I should try, please let me know!

[Q] Capture Stylus hover events before they get to apps

I'm trying to work with a custom build of Android based on KitKat to incorporate a stylus, copying some of the functionality (though not code) from Samsung which sells Android-with-stylus builds for e.g. the Note 3. I'm not including details of the specific device because right now I am working on a custom dev device and my aim is to write code which is generic enough to be usable from any Android (based on KitKat). The build (written by others) already incorporates drivers and sends stylus events correctly as motion events etc. Programming at the app level I can receive onHover, ontouch, onClick etc
The specific functionality I am trying to achieve is to pick up a stylus-button-click while hovering. It's perfectly possible to do this in any app, using an onGenericMotion Listener.
However, I want to make my "stylus-action" have system-wide effect - so that anywhere (in any other app, or in the launcher or whatever) I will pick up the event (prior to any other app) and bring up my custom menu. (just like AirCommand in Samsung Note 3) I guess in my custom Android this would then make that particular action somewhat protected or unusable for other users, but I'm ok with that.
In older Android (prior to ICS) you could try something by putting up a System Overlay (i.e in regular app code, without hacking the ROM at all), but this is no longer possible.
This is not an attempt to tapjack or whatever, I understand why this functionality has been removed from the domain of the regular programmer, and I don't want to regress my ROM back to pre-ICS behaviour by allowing the System Overlay hack. Now I am programming the system (if my change is good enough I'd like to submit it back to AOSP) so I would like to know the best method to address this. Since Samsung have already done this, it must be legal (using legal in the terms of "Android will allow it"), and I want to do it right.
Is it possible to write something similar to the System Overlay when you are running from a system service? Or is there a good choke-point to capture events before they are broadcast to the current running apps?
I was looking at (sorry, not allowed to post links) AndroidXRef /frameworks/base/core/java/android/view/View.java specifically in the function dispatchHoverEvent() which looks like a promising place. My naive idea is that I would place code here checking the MotionEvent to see if the button is pressed and if it is, don't call any listeners and instead call my little menu app (or broadcast a custom message, or something anyway). However, I've never written code on the ROM level before (LOTS of experience writing app code) so I don't know if this is a really bad point or a good point to add in code. Should I be putting things at a higher level or a lower one? Will this capture all events or not? Is it all just trial and error?
If this is the wrong place to ask questions like this, please tell me where on XDA I should be asking it. If it's the right place - please answer
Thanks

The guy above me is a ****. I stumbled across this post looking for something completely unrelated (title interested me). Five words in I knew this was something completely out of my league, but I still read the entire post. If I may offer you some probably useless advice, I would talk to the devs in the note forums. The only problem I could see is that the AOSP guys don't have this function in their roms because it's locked up Samsung code and the guys modding the stock roms leave it alone for the same reason. I could also be completely wrong. Like I said completely out of my league.

Well first of all, this is the wrong place to ask this question but still. You'll need Android Studio to program an app (or use xamarin with c# if you don't want to use java). There are extensive tut's about creating your first android application on the internet provided by google. Try to complete (most of) the tut's that they suggest. After that you'll (hopefully) have a basic understanding of programming in android.
But be reminded that learning to program is a process that could take a long time, depending om how much time and effort you put in to it.
Goodluck!
