Assistant Lifecycle Events
This page describes how developers can register for some interesting life-cycle events from the Assistant
The Slang Assistant handles most of the heavy lifting of interacting with the end-users and notifies the app when there is some action to be performed by the app. But in some cases, apps may want to be notified of low-level events that the Assistant is aware of. For example, whenever a user clicks on the trigger (the microphone button) or when the user cancels the Slang surface.
Access to low-level Assistant events is available through the Assistant's Lifecycle Events API.
The app can register with the Assistant to be notified of all interesting life-cycle events via the
setLifeCycleObserver methodJava
React Native
Flutter
Web
SlangRetailAssistant.setLifecycleObserver(observer);
SlangRetailAssistant.setLifecycleObserver(observer);
SlangRetailAssistant.setLifecycleObserver(observer);
As part of the Lifecycle Events API, an observer will be notified of the following events:
onAssistantInitSuccess- Called as soon as the Assistant has initialized successfully and is ready to serve the app
onAssistantInitFailure- Called when the Assistant failed to initialize successfully. The reason is passed as a parameter to this callback
onAssistantInvoked- Called whenever the Assistant has been launched (this can be either as a result of the user clicking on the trigger or the app invoking the Assistant via the
startConversationAPI)
onAssistantClosed- Called whenever the Assistant has been dismissed. A boolean parameter
isCanceledis passed to indicate whether this happened because the user canceled the session or if the Assistant was done with its job
onAssistantLocaleChanged- Called whenever the user changes the locale of the Assistant
onUnrecognisedUtterance- Called whenever the Assistant is not able to understand what the user spoke. The utterance that the user spoke is passed as a parameter.
