Javax Content Not Accessible

I have a runtime error when i try to run my android application, due to the importation of this package that allows me to use Watson Services. 'com.ibm.watson.developer_cloud:java-

Solution 1:

I think you are using a version older than 2.7.1. I'm unable to reproduce your problem and I tried with different configurations including yours. Make sure you clean your workspace and get the latest version of the library. In your build.gradle you should have:

compile'com.ibm.watson.developer_cloud:java-sdk:2.9.0'

Here is the commit that fixed your issue. The fix was released in the 2.7.1 version.

This is what I did and that worked for me:

Steps to use the Watson APIs in Android you should:

1. Download and install Android Studio
2. Open Android Studio
3. File > New > New Project.
4. Pick a name and click next, next, next and Finish

5. In <project-name>/app/build.gradle add:

   compile'com.ibm.watson.developer_cloud:java-sdk:2.9.0'

6. In MainActiviy.java at the end of onCreate(...) add:

   Threadthread=newThread(newRunnable(){
     @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
       try {
         SpeechToTextservice=newSpeechToText();
         service.setUsernameAndPassword("<username>", "<password>");
         System.out.println(service.getModels());
       } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
       }
     }
   });
   
   thread.start();
   

7. Start the simulator and look at the console. You should see a message like

   I/CredentialUtils: JNDI string lookups isnot available.
   

   and the Speech to Text model list.

   I/System.out: [{
   I/System.out:   "name": "en-US_NarrowbandModel",
   I/System.out:   "rate": 8000
   I/System.out: }, {
   I/System.out:   "name": "pt-BR_BroadbandModel",
   I/System.out:   "rate": 16000
   I/System.out: }, {
   I/System.out: .... more models here
   I/System.out: }, {
   I/System.out:   "name": "en-US_BroadbandModel",
   I/System.out:   "rate": 16000
   I/System.out: }]
