⚠️ Warning: Go to App Actions fitness sample or App Actions Widget sample for maintained sample.
*This is a sample Fitness application that allows displaying workout information as well as starting and stopping a workout. By implementing App Actions, we allow the user to call upon our application to fulfill supported built-in intents (BIIs) in the fitness category.
Specifically, this sample supports the following BIIs:
actions.intent.START_EXERCISE
: Open the sample app and start an exercise session.actions.intent.STOP_EXERCISE
: Open the sample app and stops the current exercise session.actions.intent.GET_EXERCISE_OBSERVATION
: Display a widget inside the Assistant with information on a particular exercise statistic.
How to use this sample
Clone or download the project to your preferred location. Then, import and modify the project with the following steps:
-
In Android Studio, select Open an existing Android Studio project from the initial screen, or go to File > Open.
-
Change the
applicationId
in app/build.gradle to theapplicationId
of one of your draft or published apps in the Google Play Console.android { defaultConfig { // This ID uniquely identifies your app on the device and in Google Play applicationId "PUT_YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE" } }
-
Change the three (3)
android:targetPackage
in app/src/main/res/xml/shortcuts.xml to theapplicationId
in your app/build.gradle.<capability android:name="actions.intent.START_EXERCISE"> <intent android:targetPackage="PUT_YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE" > </intent> </capability>
<capability android:name="actions.intent.STOP_EXERCISE"> <intent android:targetPackage="PUT_YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE" > </intent> </capability>
<capability android:name="actions.intent.GET_EXERCISE_OBSERVATION"> <intent android:targetPackage="PUT_YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE" > </intent> </capability>
-
In Android Studio, find the root directory of the sample.
-
Select the
build.gradle
file. -
Follow the instructions presented by the IDE.
Then, you can try the App Actions by following these steps:
- Build and run the sample on your physical test device (Run "app").
- Open the App Actions test tool (Tools > Google Assistant > App Actions Test Tool).
- Define an invocation name to use for invoking the App Actions (like "my test app"). This name is only for testing purposes, so it can be different from what you want to deploy to production later.
- Click Create Preview. Once your preview is created, the test tool window updates to display information about BIIs found in your
shortcuts.xml
file.
After you create a preview, you can then try using voice or written commands directly with Assistant on your test device.
