Useful Android app developers term of the day: Google Assistant Built-in Intents

Google Assistant has several built-in intents that allow developers to integrate their Android applications with the Assistant. These intents can be used to trigger specific actions within the app, such as playing music, setting reminders, or sending messages.

Here are some of the built-in intents for Android Google Assistant:

  1. actions.intent.OPEN_APP_FEATURE: This intent is used to open a specific feature or activity within the app. For example, saying "Open camera in [app name]" would open the camera within the specified app.

  2. actions.intent.PLAY: This intent is used to play media, such as music or videos. Developers can specify the media to play, along with any additional parameters such as playback position or volume.

  3. actions.intent.SET_ALARM: This intent is used to set an alarm. Developers can specify the time and any other relevant parameters, such as the alarm label.

  4. actions.intent.SEND_MESSAGE: This intent is used to send a message. Developers can specify the message content, recipient, and other relevant parameters.

  5. actions.intent.SET_TIMER: This intent is used to set a timer. Developers can specify the duration of the timer, along with any other relevant parameters such as the timer label.

  6. actions.intent.REMIND: This intent is used to set a reminder. Developers can specify the reminder content, time, and any other relevant parameters.

  7. actions.intent.GET_DIRECTIONS: This intent is used to get directions to a specified location. Developers can specify the starting and ending locations, as well as any relevant transportation mode or other parameters.

These are just a few examples of the built-in intents available for Android Google Assistant. Developers can use these intents to create a seamless integration between their app and the Assistant, allowing users to perform actions within the app using voice commands.
