Question

     protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK)
    {
        // Populate the wordsList with the String values the recognition engine thought it heard
        ArrayList<String> matches = data.getStringArrayListExtra(
                RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
        wordsList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
                matches));


    }



    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

im looking for the proper syntax to get the first position of this populated list to a string so i can put it in a toast or save it to a file, im new at this, if i can display it on a toast i can take care of the rest, thank you

Toast.makeText(this,(CharSequence) wordsList.getItemAtPosition(0) , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Answer 1

Pretty easy:

String firstResult = matches.get(0);
Toast.makeText(getContext(), firstResult,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
