Feature request: Specify in config.json whether RoboTutor should make RoboFeel run and indicate whether it is.

[JackMostow]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Specify whether RoboFeel should run whenever RoboTutor does.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

1. Enable/disable RoboFeel in config.json.
2. If enabled, start RoboFeel service when RoboTutor launches, and stop when it exits or crashes
3. RoboTutor display whether RoboFeel is running.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Considered using 1 eye instead of 2, but 2 is more recognizable and we happen to have images that fit and match the banner.

• Considered centering at bottom of screen, but too conspicuous and conflicts with other objects, e.g. Bubblepop stimulus.

• Considered translucent eye(s) floating over screen, but harder to implement.

• Considered testing whether RoboFeel is actually running, but harder to implement and negligible value added.

• Considered tapping eye(s) to toggle RoboFeel, but it would be an attractive nuisance.

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Approach to be followed (optional) A clear and concise description of approach to be followed.

Use these images:

• When RoboFeel is enabled: It looks bored but is static so it shouldn't distract the user.

• When RoboFeel is disabled:

• This image is too disruptive:

• This image is a possibility:

Size: half the height of the green banner at the top of the screen

Location: on the right end of the banner, in the bottom half of the banner to avoid overlap with tutor ID

Use eye pair images from Eye Roll

Modify RTFaceLogin to stop RoboFeel when recording selfies -- necessary only if RoboTutor crashes without stopping RoboFeel.

If we decide we want visual cues during RTFaceLogin, make it launch RoboFeel when it starts and after recording each selfie.

@sushant-varanasi I was facing a problem in pushing In Oncreate Function Write the code to start service, Component name specifies the package and the packagename.nameofservice that is Robofeel

Intent i = new Intent(); i.setComponent(new ComponentName("mayank.example.rtcamera", "mayank.example.rtcamera.RoboService")); startService(i);

In Ondestroy Write the code to stop service, Component name specifies the package and the packagename.nameofservice that is Robofeel

//Stop Service

Intent i = new Intent(); i.setComponent(new ComponentName("mayank.example.rtcamera", "mayank.example.rtcamera.RoboService")); stopService(I);

I made the following changes
