How to invoke my Actions on Google DRAFT from a phone? - android

How can I test Actions on Google DRAFT on my android phone?
I have en-US language on phone, enabled all permissions and linked my account with Actions on Google. Simulator says I can test in on any device I logged in with my email, just LITERALLY SAYS that, but if I say "OK Google talk to my test app" it just show me google search, not invokes my draft.
Do I need pass review stage for this?
Or I need meet requirements of geolocation tat set in simulator?
Maybe someone have clear guide to go through this?

If you have tested the Action on the simulator - it should be available on any Android phone that has the Assistant using the same account. You don't need it reviewed while you are developing and testing it, and the location setting in the simulator is to send fake location information for testing.
Some things to look for:
Make sure you have tested it on the simulator first. If you haven't done the "Talk to..." portion on the simulator, or if it doesn't work, it may not be available on your phone.
Make sure your phone is actually using the Google Assistant. The older voice search for Android or Google Now aren't good enough. You may also not have turned it on. To turn it on for most phones:
Open the Google app and tap the menu in the upper left hand corner.
Select Settings.
Under "Google Assistant" select "Settings" and "Turn On"
Confirm you're using the same account in the simulator and in the Assistant on your phone. You can see the account you're using in the simulator by clicking on the avatar icon in the upper right hand corner. On the phone, you can see the account you're using by:
Open the Assistant
Click the icon in the upper right hand corner of the window. It should be a blue dot with something that sorta looks like an inbox icon.
(Something like this)
Click the three vertical dot menu that appears in the upper right hand corner.
Select "Account"

SOTI MobiControl Kiosk Mode

We are trying to use the Kiosk mode feature of SOTI MobiControl to run our application on a kiosk. We are currently testing on a Zebra TC52 (an Android device) until we get our Elo kiosks.
We’ve set up a profile for our app that uses the Lockdown configuration. It “kind of” works, but isn’t quite doing what we expect.
When we power on the machine, it comes up in the normal startup screen. If I swipe up, then it takes us to our app screen. However, the status bar is showing, and can be pulled down.
However, if I click on the Home button, then the status bar goes away, and we’re closer to where we wanted to be. There is still a back button at the bottom of the screen.
We were hoping:
That when the machine starts, it would immediately go to our app screen, instead of requiring someone to swipe up to get the app to start.
That there would be no status bar, or bottom icons.
This app will be customer facing, so we want our app, and only our app, to ever show on the screen.
I’m not sure if any of these limitations are specifically because we’re using a TC52 instead of an actual kiosk device, but to my mind, they’re both just Android devices.
I have included screen shots of our configuration and the results on the device.
Can anyone see anything we are missing? Or are we expecting too much from the SOTI configuration for kiosks?
at least to disable the Lock Screen you can use the free Zebra StageNow tool (https://www.zebra.com/de/de/support-downloads/software/utilities/stagenow.html).
You can create a lot of device specific setting, just check https://techdocs.zebra.com/mx/ for the setting to disable the swipe lock screen.
in StageNow you can, after finish the Profile, export the Config for MDM
(upper right corner)
In Soti Mobicontrol u can use a script within Packages, Filesync, or direct on Device
mxconfig /sdcard/yoursetting.xm
to import the Setting to the Devices.
Depending on your Soti MC Version there are also some Settings available in the Lockdown Setting Profile to disable the Notification Bar, maybe also u can find some other usefull Settings in the MX Matrix..

Can't enter settings menus on 'Google Home' purchased in USA

I'm Canadian and was recently gifted a Google Home, from an American.
It works great with standard tasks like music, reminders, etc, and I've been playing with customization ITTT, which so far works fine, including features like SMS and callings.
The problem is that I can't access certain settings in the Android app — tapping them does nothing. For example, I can't :
Set up voice match (although it recognizes my voice)
Manage news sources (although it plays local news when commanded)
Setup Shopping List (although the feature works fine)
I can't help but think this is related to the fact that this unit wasn't made for my country (although they are available here too).
Does anyone know if there's a way around this either programmatically, or maybe a setting I haven't seen, or some other workaround?

How to track touch actions on screen during test automation with Appium

I am using appium to run automated tests for a mobile app. the app is on both android and ios and my tests are written in ruby.
In my test code, I tap specific coordinates on the screen however I am not able to verify that the correct position was tapped if no action resulted from the tap.
What I would like is some kinda of visual cue so that I can tell where on the screen was tapped, pressed, swiped, etc. Is there any way to do with appium?
On android, in the settings under developer options I can select "show taps" which will temporarily display a circle where I tap on the screen but this doesn't seem to work while running tests. I'd like to know if there are any ways to do this on either android or ios. Any help would be appreciated.
For Android you should enable Show touches and Pointer location too from developer option, It will show the pointer location of Click/Swipe/Tap. It's working fine for me during automation.

Run Custom App using Launchy on Google Glass

I've installed Launchy.apk for Google Glass to side-load my custom Glass application. When running Launchy, I get a screen on Google Glass that looks similar to this:
Launch...Glass Settings
...............Custom App Name 1
...............Custom App Name 2
...............Custom App Name 3
When pressing the touchpad on the side once, it highlights Glass Settings. If I press it again, it selects/loads Glass Settings. However, I can't scroll down to get to any of the Custom Apps I have installed... how do I scroll down or run these apps from Launchy? Swiping left or right does not work.
You need to build it from source so make sure you have the latest version:
https://github.com/kaze0/launchy
Also, the Settings menu is obsolete. You have to say "Ok Glass, Run an app".
