Hide Google Voice recognition

Question

I'm using Google Voice recognition and would like to hide the popup with Google and the mic that is being shown.. This is my code:

Intent intent = new Intent(
                    RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);

            intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL, getResources().getString(R.string.ttslang));

            try {
                startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_SPEECH);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException a) {
                Toast t = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        getResources().getString(R.string.notts),
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
                t.show();
            }

As I think that I already saw such apps, I think that this is possible.. If it is, does somebody know how?

Many thanks!

For that, you need to use SpeechRecognizer. An example can be found here.

It's quite easy to implement:

SpeechRecognizer recognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this);       
recognizer.setRecognitionListener(new RecognitionListener() { ... });  

The listener catches the events and you process them accordingly.
