I'm trying to make an AI chatbot using Android Studio which is supposed to use a Python core. I learnt how to run Python scripts in Android Studio using Chaquopy but when I run my .py file which imports theaiml library, there's always a "No match found for input" error. Here's my code for the file home.py which I'm running in Android Studio using Chaquopy:

import aiml

kernel = aiml.Kernel()
kernel.learn("std_startup.xml")
kernel.respond("load aiml b")

def response(message):
    res = kernel.respond(message)
    if res is None or res=="":
        return "Sorry"
    else:
        return res

This is std_startup.xml

<aiml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<category>
    <pattern>LOAD AIML B</pattern>
    <template>
        <learn>basic_chat.xml</learn>
    </template>
</category>
</aiml>

This is basic_chat.xml

<aiml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<category>
        <pattern>HELLO</pattern>
        <template>
            <random>
                <li>Hey there!</li>
                <li>H1!</li>
                <li>Hello!</li>
            </random>
        </template>
    </category>    
</aiml>

The code in the Android project activity is:

    if (!Python.isStarted()) {
                 Python.start(new AndroidPlatform(this));
    }
    Python python = Python.getInstance();
    PyObject pythonFile = python.getModule("home");
    PyObject response = pythonFile.callAttr("response", message.toString());
    button.setText(response.toString());

All files are in the same directory. Chaquopy worked perfectly for simple python programs and home.py worked fine when I was running it on cmd. I've tried changing the .xml to .aiml in the code but it still doesn't work. I also tried changing the aiml version. What am I doing wrong? Or does Chaquopy just not support AIML? Please suggest any changes

The current directory of an Android app could be anywhere, but it's unlikely to be the directory containing your data files. So instead of passing std_startup.xml with a simple filename, use a path relative to __file__, as described in the FAQ.

I don't know how filenames within std_startup.xml are evaluated. If they're relative to the location of the std_startup.xml file, then your current approach should work fine. If they're relative to the current directory, then you may need to generate the std_startup.xml file programmatically so it can contain the absolute path to basic_chat.xml.

Try directly learning the basic.aiml file. And change extension to .aiml
