Hi,
with the last extension version is possible to manage Location Sensor events (locationSensor.LocationChanged) and Texting events (Texting.Messagereceived) on Android 14 ?

thank you

Hi,
It is not possible yet, that feature helps simply tell Android the purpose of your background service.

Hi Kumaraswamy, I try creating a app that can use voice recognizer in background, but It didn't work. Did I make a mistake here?

Hi, I would like to create a GPS Tracker.

Hi, is your Itoo extension work with SpeechRecognizer?

Hi, you have to move the register event function to the initialize procedure before GetText

Unfortunately Itoo dosent yet natively support background location access.
You may try out the Location Service extension offered by Taifun (i.e. paid)

Hi kumaraswamy, thanks for your help. I have tried fixed like you told me, but It didn't work. I think SpeechRecognizer doesn't work with your extension. Can you tell me alternative method for Itoo.

Please make it easier to help you by attaching .aia files together with your message.

I hope in that "yet" ........

Thanks a lot for your work @Kumaraswamy @Taifun,
Everything is working fine with itoo 4.3.1 and Notification Style 1.8 now.
But I am facing a small issue only when I click on any notification in background service, my app doesn't open and all that happens is that the notification disappears and when I click on ItooApple notification it still works but the app doesn't open either, knowing that this doesn't happen with the notifications themselves if they are from within the app and not from procedure

This is my app's front end and back end. To use this app, you have to click the Active button to initialize the background task. When you want to recognize your voice, you click the record button. I have tried several times before. I think Voice Recognizer doesn't work with Itoo. Can you tell me any extension that can work with Itoo like Voice Recognizer?

I'll try to fix these in the upcoming releases.

I checked. Speech recognizer does not work in Itoo and because of Android's architectural limitations. You need to search for an extension that works in background.

Hi Kumaraswamy, thanks for your help. I found a ScSpeechRecognizer extension on internet. Can ScSpeechRecognizer work with Itoo?
This is ScSpeechRecognizer's file, you can download it:
[removed by mod, do not upload other's extension]
This is it's webpage:
[FREE] Voice Recognition extension without Google Dialogue - Extensions - Kodular Community

I'm not sure if it works, at the end of the topic it says you need some possible workaround to get it work. You should try it once.

Hi Kumaraswamy. Somehow, I found a weird way to run ScSpeechRecognizer extension in background without Itoo extension.
I tested it on Android 13. It can use wake word to control house. It works pretty well unless I close its task in multitasking screens. Can I make my app run in background without opening its task in multitasking screens.

Nice, now try to implement the background logic the same way as you did with the default Speech Recognizer component.

First try with a small sample if it works, implement all the logic.
