I am looking to re-brand the Mesibo app https://github.com/mesibo/messenger-app-android/
Mesibo docs says we can change everything. However I am unable to find a way to change small things where it says "Mesibo".
For example on the Invite Family and Friends screen, it shows Mesibo name its links to download Mesibo app. Which of course we need to change to ours.
How can we do that?
Project is compiled and runs all good.
I guess you already find by yourself. But if not, this information and more comes from backend API server code. Check out API server code: https://github.com/mesibo/messenger-app-backend/blob/master/api_functions.php and change response text, or you can overwrite Mesibo server answer in application.
$invite['text'] = 'Hey, I use Mesibo for free messaging, voice and video calls. Download it from https://m.mesibo.com';

Is it somehow possible to call a web service which can ask things back and receives the answer?
Let me explain:
At home, I have a media center with some movies on it. It's content changes over time of course: Files get added, removed, renamed and so on.
Now I’d like to say for example “Hey Google, play wizard of oz” and then wizard of oz should played on my tv.
Since I know how to develop things in .NET, the web service running at home already exists and works fine, movies start. And I guess thanks to API.ai, I should be able connect it via the webhook function to Google Home.
But what if there are multiple results and I want to ask, which result should be picked? For example:
User says "Play Star Wars"
Google Home calls my web service, which checks my disk and finds out that there are multiple Star Wars movies.
Now, the user needs to be asked "There are multiple results. Which one would you like to see? Star Wars: A new hope, Star Wars: The empire strikes back, ..."
The user now answers "Star Wars: A new hope"
Google Home calls the web service again with that info and after success it replies "Okay, playing Star Wars: A new hope."
I haven't found out how to do that with API.ai. As I understand, API.ai calls the web service with some parameters (JSON), sends the response text received from the web service back to Google Home and then just ends.
Or did I miss something? Do you guys have any idea how I could achieve this scenario?
Or can we somehow develop our private services, like the ones listed in the Google Home app (Akinator, Dominos, CNBC, ...) or is that only possible as a partner? Would be nice actually.
Thanks in advance!
As I understand, API.ai calls the web service with some parameters
(JSON), sends the response text received from the web service back to
Google Home and then just ends.
The bot is still in control unless you send from your web service:
data: {
google: {
expect_user_response: false,
}
}
or check this box in API.AI in the intent pane
If you are using the ActionsSDKAssistant, make sure that you are using the right method. Ask vs. Tell
https://developers.google.com/actions/reference/ActionsSdkAssistant#ask
https://developers.google.com/actions/reference/ActionsSdkAssistant#tell
You need to study the API, the api.ai webhook request/response format and implement it. Take a look at this tutorial. Then, of course, you will have to poke a hole in your firewall to be able to receive the calls from Google or use ngrok or the BST proxy.
This has been driving me nuts all day:
I have an iOS app with a custom URL scheme defined, and am trying to share a link on FB which points to a page that has this scheme in its applink meta tags, so that tapping it should fire up my app.
Every little piece of it is working just fine. I can enter my URL scheme in safari on the phone and the browser launches my app. I have tested my webpage with the FB debug tool and there are no errors or warnings - it correctly identifies all the meta tags.
If I share the link using FB on the phone or on my laptop, all works fine.
HOWEVER, if I share the exact same link using FBSDKShareDialog, it does not work. It just opens the web page with the meta tags as if it was any regular web page.
Anyone has any idea why these two ways of sharing would be different? They look exactly the same otherwise.
If anyone else runs into this problem, here's the reply from FB:
When you share with mode automatic, the app does a fast app switch over to the FB app to show the native share dialog
The post is cached locally on the device, and it does not know about app links (since only Facebook server side knows about it)
When the user opens the FB, the user sees their cached story (with no app links behavior),
This doesn't manifest with the Web mode since the Facebook app needs
to pull from the server to get the post, in which case it has all the
app links info.
This is unlikely something that we'll fix. However, after a while, the
cache will expire, and Facebook app will re-pull the posts from the
servers, in which case the app link data will be available.
In order to test this, you can share the post on one device, and then
try clicking on the post from another device. The app links should
work at that point.
Which is kind of a lame response IMO - they parse the target page to build the preview, how hard would it be to remember the applink and use it?
There could be two possible issues:
Either the one told by #NJ, i.e. you are just trying to open the link in Facebook app, using the same device from which you posted the link.'
Solution - either open link in other device or cose and re-open your facebook app and do multiple refresh
Or You have some error in your meta tags. There is one important thing though, that Facebook never mentions, i.e. they cache the URL you provide.
So any one used the web link with meta tags the first time in Facebook, Whole meta tags will be cached, and you updated meta tags won't be parsed by facebook.
Solution
To get over with the issue, use below link
Facebook debug tool
Input your meta data included web page URL and
-click on show existing scrape information to find any error
Click on Fetch new scrape information for refreshing your URL on facebook. it will clear the cache for that URL in facebook server.
I only see Artist, Album, and Tracks lookups in the docs. I want to display what I'm currently listening to. Is there a way to do this using the API?
https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/web-api/lookup/
Spotify does not provide this at this time. You can either get it by turning on last.fm scrobbling or accessing facebook music data.
As Thomas said Spotify does not provide such a feature 'directly'.
But there are some ways to get it work.
You have to me some more sprcific what you want to do. Web/Desktop/App
I wrote a tiny console app using an external dll
"File/Link removed" - send pm for further information!
If this is what you need just message me. It's a rly tiny application just for test purposes! Because I currently develop a overlay.
This maybe very noob and unworthy of stackoverflow.com, but nonetheless here goes:
I'm trying to write a custom application that syncs my Google data (emails, calendar and contacts) to the desktop (I know that there are several tools that let you do that, but curiosity only killed the cat!!).
I know that m.google.com is the sync sever I need to use. I've gone through [MS-ASHTTP].pdf, and got all the protocol information down.
Now, using either the cURL command-line or a tool (in Windows) such as Fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com/), I'm unable to make valid ActiveSync requests to m.google.com. Moreover the URI /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync doesn't exist on m.google.com, and searching Google turned up nothing for me. Need help!!!
Connecting to Google using ActiveSync should work (I have an Android app - Corporate Addressbook that does that successfully)
Use the following URL
https://m.google.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync?User=xyz#gmail.com&DeviceId=1234512345&DeviceType=Android&Cmd=xxxxx
Edit the email address and the command you are sending. Also you will need to send the auth string in the header
I have a blog post that should help.
Is there a way I can create an addin for my Gmail account? Is GreaseMonkey the only real way?
I use Gmail for customer service, and I'd like to create a tool that looks up the customer and preps a response to them based upon who it is in my database... instead of looking by hand for the client and typing it out.
You can add gadgets (same as iGoogle and wave) and add them to the side bar in GMail, but you will not have access to the e-mails themselves. You could create small lookup forms and such, though.
I don't see how else you could do it. You won't be able to run your own app on Google's backend, so that leaves the client (with javascript and something like GreaseMonkey) and your server (perhaps communicating with the client via AJAX).
