Hey I am using ACTION_CREATE_NOTE and SEARCH_ACTION in my app to create a note and search for a note by text in my app.



The search action is working fine as I am getting the search query <My query>
when I speak the following in google assistance "Search for <My query> in <My app>".


Problem is with ACTION_CREATE_NOTE as I am not getting the note text or title or text query, all are null. Can anyone please help.


Here is what I did.

Manifest entry:



<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.gms.actions.CREATE_NOTE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="*/*" />
</intent-filter>


Activity code:



    override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent?) {
super.onNewIntent(intent)
handleIntent(intent)
}

private fun handleIntent(intent: Intent?) {
val action = intent?.action
if (NoteIntents.ACTION_CREATE_NOTE == action) {
//Test this from command line
//adb shell am start -a com.google.android.gms.actions.CREATE_NOTE -n <yourPackageName>/.MainActivity
val name = intent.getStringExtra(NoteIntents.EXTRA_NAME)
val text = intent.getStringExtra(NoteIntents.EXTRA_TEXT)
val query = intent.getStringExtra(NoteIntents.EXTRA_NOTE_QUERY)
Toast.makeText(this, "$name $text $query", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
if (Intent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH == action) {
//Test this from command line
//adb shell am start -a com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION -e query "Search for something" <yourPackageName>
val query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY)
Toast.makeText(this, "Query: $query", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}


For Search (which is working)

INPUT: Say following to google assistance: "Search for nearby stations in my app"

OUTPUT: Toast message - "Query: nearby stations"



For Create a note (not working)

INPUT: Say following to google assistance: "take a note to remind me to get milk"

OUTPUT: Toast message - "null null null"



NOTE: App is uploaded on internal release on play store that is why search is working. Otherwise, the search will also not work.



Thanks in advance.
