I am unable to successfully use the Google System Voice Actions "Search in
App" (com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION) on an app that I have
already published onto Google Play (Private Channel) and downloaded onto my
phone.
The intent with the query extra from the search action is to be passed on
to MainActivity after matching the intent filter.
Before publishing the app, I have already tested the app using the adb
command below which works perfectly:
adb shell am start -a "com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION" --es
query "[query]" -n "com.testapp/.MainActivity"
Below is my Android manifest which contains the intent filters:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="com.testapp" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="11"
android:targetSdkVersion="23" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<application
android:name=".app.AppController"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

<meta-data

android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.VOICE" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.app.searchable"
android:resource="@xml/searchable" />
<meta-data
android:name="android.app.default_searchable"
android:value=".MainActivity" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Are my intent filters required for Google Voice Actions set up correctly,
and if so, why did using Google App to search for keywords within my app
not work?
Or are there any other considerations such as (some personal guesses only):
time needed for Google App to "cache/process" app contents/intent filters
etc., the app name and search keywords not being "unique" enough, or the
fact that the app being distributed onto a Private Channel instead?
Hoping for anyone who has successfully implemented Google Voice Actions
before to share and provide some input.
