Extend an Android app to Google Assistant with App Actions

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Demo Android to-do app adds two App Actions using Google Assistant: get thing (maps thing.name to app search param Q) and open app feature (uses inline inventory and two shortcuts.xml entries for active/completed). Workflow uses Android Studio, generates an AAB/APK, uploads to Play Console, installs on emulator, and runs the App Actions Test Tool plugin. Both capabilities are implemented and tested end-to-end, with minor emulator setup hiccups but successful results.
