Integrate Google Assistant into Android for cars

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Overview of concrete steps to add voice to car apps: use the Car App Library to write once for Android Auto and Android Automotive OS, declare App Actions capabilities (shortcuts.xml) and map BIIs like GET_CHARGING_STATION to deep‑link URL templates, parse parameters in onCreateSession/onNewIntent, and surface widgets with app-widget + TTS for inline fulfillment. Example: ChargePoint uses these BIIs to open maps/lists. Note: current fulfillment uses deep link fulfillment only; Android intent support is forthcoming.
