How to create your first App Action

on YouTube ↗02m

" summary

Starts in AndroidManifest.xml where a meta-data tag is added inside the activity, then creates shortcuts.xml in app/src/main/res/xml to declare built‑in intents (BIIs). Implements the BII GET_THING by mapping its intent to an action, package, and class and passing thing.name so the to‑do app searches existing items. Wires up the App Action and verifies behavior using the App Actions test tool in Android Studio; documentation lists BII fields and example queries.
