Steps from Login to Talk Box.

1. Install the application in mobile. Press the Login button on the screen it will take you to your web browser to login in your account through your security profile which you set for registering your product and to get access token for communicating with Alexa.
2. Now you will be directed to Talk Box activity where you can talk with Alexa. Just keep your finger down on the button and ask your question and release it when you are finished.

Set an alarm

You can set an alarm by asking "Set an alarm" and wait for the response as it is a continuous session. Now don't press the button as Alexa will ask you the time for the alarm. After setting the alarm you can continue as before.

You can delete the alarm from the list by long pressing the desired alarm.

The application is completely build from the AVS Documentation.

How to play music?

Hi @raj10071997 I want to listen the music but it says "Sorry music and radio playback are not supported in this device"

Can you assist me how can I play music?

Got problems when running the app

hello raj10071997,
It is my honor to study your project. When i run the app, the mainactivity and the browser take turns showing in front of screen and i just cannot stop them unless i kill the process. It must be wrong somewhere. If i want to run the app, do i only need to register the api_key.txt and the security profile? I guess that i made some mistakes during creating the api key and security profile. For example, i used my own PC's MD5 and SHA256 and changed PRODUCT_ID in mainactivity with my own. What else should i pay attention to? Thanks for your help!

Playing the response

Hi,

First of all, this is not an issue on your code but a help request.

I am implementing Alexa in Kotlin. I am able to login properly and I am able to sent voice request and response octet stream is also coming back. I wrote it to an mp3 file but the media player is giving me status failed 0x1 at prepare.

I wrote it to an external director to check the file in PC, there also it didnt work. Do we need to modify the response stream? I am beating my head on this for past 3 days. see my query at

Not supported

We got the PRODCUT_ID and API_KEY from the amazon developer product page. Then we used that into your project, but its not supported.

What we have added as a skills and endpoint, its not reaching and not able to get the proper response from endpoint. WHY? you have an idea?

why the downchannel should send directives interface every seconds

in your project,we send directives interface to amazon serve evert seconds,when we catch IOException,we send the serve request immediately in Downchannel.java
