How to integrate Android widgets with Google Assistant

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Shows how to surface an Android widget inside Google Assistant using App Actions and the Widgets Extension Library, mapping the GET_EXERCISE_OBSERVATION BII with inline inventory for three types: running, walking, cycling. Adds a background service in AndroidManifest, reads intent extras, queries the DB for a specific exercise type, builds RemoteViews, and attaches custom TTS. Tests: Assistant speaks the last running activity and returns a fallback “couldn't find the last activity for 'climbing'”, both working.
