Provide a faster way for users to access your Android app. Deep link users directly into a specific activity using App Actions or surface relevant content on the Assistant with Slices.
Deep link to specific app activities with App Actions
Provide a shortcut to your app as users talk to the Google Assistant using App Actions. Through the power of Google’s natural language understanding, the Assistant handles the user request and translates it to a deep link into your app.
How to build
1. Define deep link support
Review the available built-in intents definitions and match them with key functionalities in your app.
2. Implement App Actions
Create an Actions.xml file so the Assistant can take users directly to specific activities in your Android app.
3. Add Slices
Update your Actions.xml file to surface key information from your app directly in the Assistant as an Android Slice.
4. Test and deploy
Use the App Actions test tool in Android Studio to make sure that your Action works and is ready for deployment.
