I am trying to create an application that casts the google home response to chromecast. For example when asked from google home. "ok, google show me the recipe for pizza on TV". Google home should cast the instructions for making a pizza on my TV. Very similar to what it does for Netflix.
I haven't seen any tutorials for it or not even sure if API for this is available from Google. They showed the example for the same thing using calendar in this year's Google I/O.
If you know how to do this or know of a tutorial that can help me with this. Any pointers in right directions will be helpful.
I am also open to using Google Assistant on my phone instead of using Google Home.
Although Chromecast integration has been announced, it is not available yet, wasn't clear exactly what this integration would look like, or when it would be available.

I've uploaded an Android App only available to four countries. I can't see its Google Play link indexed on Google search results. At first I thought it was due to it not being available in my country but running some tests I've found links to Apps not available at all in my country (for example ABC live TV) and whose results appear in Google Search results. Is there anything I must do to help Google index my App? I've seen there's a framework called Google Indexing but as far as I've read it's more focused on deep-linking rather than app discovery.
Just to clarify, I can access the App via the direct link from Google Play if I click on it on my Google Play Developer Console but I can't see my App in the search results if I look for it.
Can anyone just share some light about this issue?
Turned out to be just waiting for a couple weeks to wait for Google to index the App, now it's appearing properly
Please some on guide me the way to give Google indexing to my android app but i don't have a website on my own. All i want is to show my app on searching in Google and on clicking that search item it should go to play store.
Here is the google developer doc for the same.
https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/?hl=en
Please someone could help me explain how it works.
Google indexes websites. If you have a unique app or other way for Google to recognize your app among many others, then submit your app to other app "markets" like Amazon or AppBrain.
You can also submit to websites that review apps or want to reference to talk about "new" or interesting apps.
You can also pay people to write or blog about your app, but that is a possible violation of the Google Play Store TOS (subject to interpretation of course).
App indexing allows developers to connect pages from your app web site with specific content within your Android app. This enables Android smartphone users who have your app installed to open it directly from relevant mobile search results on Google. If you don't have a website connected to your app I don't think you can index your app for Google Search Results.
Having said that you could try to add app indexing to your app only for Google Search App just to re-engage the user but I'm no sure if it is possible to do that or not.
At the risk of this question being marked 'research' or 'too broad', I am placing this question here with the research I have done so far (to count as background work), especially since I have been researching this for a while but have not found a good turnkey solution. thank you for your inputs!
I want to make Turn Based Multiplayer Game. I found Google Play Game Services but that only works with Google+ Login: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/turnbasedMultiplayer
How do I do the same with Facebook login? Can Google Play Game Services be used with Facebook friends?
In my research, the other option I found is nextpeer.com, but not sure if they can do a turn by turn based. I think i have to send player to player messages directly to achieve the turn based player, dont want to do that.
EDIT: After I posted the question, i found Android Games Tutorial with Facebook SDK - trying to understand if turn based game can be done using Facebook SDK.
Can it?
Disclaimer: I am a Nextpeer employee.
Hi,
Nextpeer does not offer a turn based solution at the moment. However, we do have an asynchronous gaming mode in our Facebook matches mode. In this mode players can either play synchronously together or asynchronously. In the second case, a player can play and the recording of his gameplay will be played to his opponents when they choose to play. Does this answer your need?
I'll be glad to discuss further privately, just email us at support#nextpeer.com and ask to talk to Dror.
I have been looking for a solution on similar lines aswell, and I guess we have a solution that can be helpful for others as well. Just looking forward to integrate it. You can find the required documentation here
I tried to implement the google map(android way) into my glass GDK application but It seems like glass does not support that at this moment. Is there anyway I can show a mapview in the gdk application? or do I have to show it through the mirror api map?
P.S
This is what I see when I try to show the map on glass. Any thought?
Pardon the reference to documentation, but read about location on Glass
Google Play Services is not available on Google Glass (at least not yet).
If you need maps, we are testing on google glasses our map API and now is working. Please take a look to:

I have spent some hours searching for Android phone integrations with Google Drive through code. But I am not able to figure it out. I want to make a app in which when I press a button, my specific file is uploaded and stored in Google Drive.
Currently, GoogleDrive is not integrated with Android. However, this is something they are working on and say it will be here "soon". The services theyre working on is called Google Play Services.
You can also currently use the java client library to accomplish what you need for now.
Just a warning, there aren't many great examples out there so its somewhat difficult to figure out.
