Slices and Actions - Everything You Need to Know to Start Using Them in Your App
summary
Shows how to implement Android Slices and Actions by registering a SliceProvider with URI routing in the app manifest, returning template blocks (header, rows, and image grids with per-cell PendingIntents), and calling notifySliceChanged to update the UI. Notes compatibility back to Android 4.4, requires fast synchronous slice responses (no blocking DB/network), supports incremental updates for interactive controls, and demonstrates examples like a one-line header, multi-row lists with actions, and a 10-item image grid using Android Studio 3.x.
