Alfred Mobile v1.1.11 - Wake Word in Service

Release Date: 2026-02-08

Changes

Wake Word Detection Moved to Foreground Service

Problem: Wake word detector was stopping after a few seconds with "No speech detected - try again" error. It was managed by MainScreen and didn't survive screen-off or app backgrounding.

Solution: Moved wake word lifecycle management into AlfredConnectionService foreground service for continuous, uninterrupted listening.

Implementation Details

1. Updated GatewayListener Interface

File: app/src/main/java/com/openclaw/alfred/gateway/GatewayClient.kt
Change: Added onWakeWordDetected() method to interface

2. Enhanced AlfredConnectionService

File: app/src/main/java/com/openclaw/alfred/service/AlfredConnectionService.kt
Changes:
- Added wakeWordDetector and wakeWordEnabled fields
- Added startWakeWord() method to initialize and start wake word detection
- Added stopWakeWord() method to stop detection
- Updated notification text to show "Listening for wake word..." when active
- Added auto-restart on errors (except permission errors)
- Added proper cleanup in onDestroy()
- Forwarding onWakeWordDetected() events to external listener

3. Updated MainScreen

File: app/src/main/java/com/openclaw/alfred/ui/screens/MainScreen.kt
Changes:
- Removed local WakeWordDetector initialization from LaunchedEffect(Unit)
- Replaced LaunchedEffect(wakeWordEnabled, wakeWordInitialized) with simpler LaunchedEffect(wakeWordEnabled, serviceBound) that delegates to service
- Implemented onWakeWordDetected() callback to handle wake word detection from service
- Wake word now managed entirely by the service

4. Improved WakeWordDetector

File: app/src/main/java/com/openclaw/alfred/voice/WakeWordDetector.kt
Change: Enhanced logging in onTimeout() to clarify continuous mode operation

Benefits

Continuous Listening: Wake word detector runs continuously without timeouts
Survives Background: Works even when app is backgrounded or screen is off
Doze Mode Compatible: Foreground service survives Android Doze mode
Auto-Recovery: Automatically restarts on errors (except permissions)
Visual Feedback: Notification shows "Listening for wake word..." status

Testing Checklist

Build successful (v1.1.11)
Toggle wake word ON in Settings
Verify notification changes to "Listening for wake word..."
Test wake word detection works continuously
Lock screen → wake word still works
Background app → wake word still works
Saying "alfred" triggers voice input
After voice input completes, wake word resumes automatically
