launchy's Introduction

launchy

A way to launch native apps on Google Glass.

  • Build and deploy Launchy to your Glass device

  • Scroll over to settings in GlassHome and select that. You should get a typical Android dialog that gives you the option of picking GlassHome or Launchy for this action. Select Launchy and check the box to always use Launchy.

  • Edit: removed in XE12, due to the selection dialog breaking. Now whenever you go to Settings in GlassHome, Launchy will pop up. If you actually need to get to Glass settings, Launchy provides a permanent link for that.

  • Say "Run an App" at the OK, Glass screen to run Launchy

  • Building with Eclipse? Go grab IntelliJ, or just modify your project settings to point to the GDK preview.

So why do we need this app? Glass provides no way to launch native apps. If you deploy and run an app, as soon as the screen goes off GlassHome takes over and you can not run your app again.

How'd you do that? GlassHome has a handful of local Activities that are launched, but many of these are launched by Package and Class name, however we lucked out because settings was simply launched with an action that I can intercept and decide to have Launchy take over from there.

launchy's Issues

Run an app does not launch an app

I have compiled the latest version of Launchy and now see the Ok Glass, Run an app on Glass XE11. However, once the app list shows up, there is no option to use voice to call the app name. Can this get added possibly or did i miss something on my compile?

Settings activity name changed in XE11

In AppHelper.java on line 141 the activity for glass settings has changed to
"com.google.glass.home.settings.SettingsActivity"
This fixes a FC on launching settings on XE11.

BTW: thanks for a great app.

Help on XE22

I can't seem to get it to work with a pre-built APK, or one compiled by myself using the source code. The pre-built APKs doesn't let me scroll to my app (which is the 2nd one down in the list); and the source code just doesnt work (jumps back to the settings screen after I tap on the "Launchy" screen).

Can anyone provide any help/insight/or updates?

use the system "tap" sound

It is common for a sound to play when tapping on action items in Glass. Currently Launchy makes no such sound, so it's difficult to judge if one is waiting on an app to load, or if a tap on the Launchy menu item was not recognized.

"OK glass, start launchy" does not work

I followed the instruction to enable Glass Lab Experiments here https://gist.github.com/zhuowei/5624527, but the voice command does not appear.

The following is the screencast of my cmd.exe terminal:

ROOT_DIR\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
b1bd0d2a device

ROOT_DIR\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
shell@android:/ $

shell@android:/ $ setprop persist.lab.native_app_voice true
setprop persist.lab.native_app_voice true
shell@android:/ $

I am using Xenologer modded Glass APKs on Samsung Galaxy Reverb (rooted, 4.1.2 Ice Cream Sandwich).

Did I miss something?

Thanks.

Unable to see list of installed apps in Launch screen on XE10

Thanks for building this.

I am new to glass and android development so maybe I am doing some thing wrong but on the new XE10 firmware I can't seem to launch any of my apps. The only thing I see when I navigate to the settings card is " Launch ... Glass Settings". However, I can run the apps via the command line using:
adb shell am start -n (packagename)/.(Activity).
I was just wondering if maybe the XE10 update has caused this error ?

Crashes when loading settings

Hey guys, I've got a brand new glass with X11 installed. When I choose Glass Settings from the Launchy menu, it crashes. Any idea why?

XE12 broke launchy launching?

I have a fairly old clone of launchy (August), that I built and had been using (not as default). With XE12, I can't even get a menu that asks to use either Glass Home or Launchy when going to Settings on Glass. I had to uninstall Launchy to see my Settings.

I'll pull the latest, but can anyone reproduce this issue?

crashes every time I select "Glass Settings"
