Android speech to text Avoiding Google native Popup.

Normally, below what can be used to bring up the native speech recogniser window. 

 Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);

        intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,

                RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);

        intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE, Locale.getDefault());

        intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT,

                "Say Something!");

        try {

            ((Activity)getAppContext()).startActivityForResult(intent, 100);

        } catch (ActivityNotFoundException a) {

            Toast.makeText(getAppContext(),

                    "Sorry Speech to text is not supported",

                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }

However, this above brings up the native popup. To avoid this, below technique can be used 

        speechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(AppUtils.getAppContext());

        speechRecognizer.setRecognitionListener(new SpeechRecognizerListener());

        Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);

        intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);

        intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_CALLING_PACKAGE,"livingmobile.com.eome");

        intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_MAX_RESULTS,5);

        speechRecognizer.startListening(intent);

public class SpeechRecognizerListener implements RecognitionListener {

    public void onResults(Bundle results)

    {

        String str = new String();

        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onResults " + results);

        ArrayList data = results.getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);

        StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();

        for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++)

        {

            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "result " + data.get(i));

            buffer.append(data.get(i));

            buffer.append(",");

        }

        Toast.makeText(AppUtils.getAppContext(), buffer.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    }

}
