I have implemented signing-in functionnalities in my Android game (which uses libgdx) via the BaseGameUtils class, but I saw a neat feature in a game (Jetpack Joyride) that I'd like to reproduce. On their homescreen, if the user is logged in, the "sign in google" button opens the Google Play account's settings (where the user can change his image, sign out and see his Google Play Services version).
I would like to have something similar, but have no idea how to call and open this page. I browsed the whole Google Play documentation but couldn't find anything about it.
What should I use to open this specific page ?
Note that you must follow the branding guidelines if you want to implement that. See Building a custom Google Sign-In button for more information.
Also, you may want to use the following approaches discussed in providing a sign-in button:
Include a com.google.android.gms.common.SignInButton on the main activity layout as described in the previous section; or
Design a custom sign-in button according to the Google Sign-In branding guidelines.

So I have been trying to find wayx to associate My App to my website's google search, a couple of post are suggesting using App Indexing from the Google Play Store I tried that and nothing has happen so far...( Unless I have to create a deeplink in the App Mainfest?) And example of what I am trying to achieve is similar to the screenshot provided for such as Walgreens where they have a install button. And I want to achieve the same with my personal project. Are there any resources out there to achieve this feature?
I have seen the shortcuts list in the google assistant settings where we can add any of them to use those shortcuts. For example, YouTube is having its own shortcuts.
Once we add the shortcut from here, the google assistant will directly take us to the relevant page of the shortcut which we spoke. For example, if we add "Explore" to the shortcuts and then give command to google assistant "Hey Google Explore", it will open the Explore screen on YouTube.
We need to implement the same functionality in our app. We need to add shortcuts for google assistant just to open the app to a specific page. Can anyone please help me with this?
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.
how can one set which screenshot will be displayed when a link to a game/app in Google Play is shared?
Example: I want to share in Facebook a link to my new game:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.dragonslabs.battlesnake
What appears on the wall, is the screenshot for the alternative movement settings, which is good to gain basic understanding what are the supported movement options, but by far now that I want to show as first impression of the game.
Is there any way to specify which screenshot appears - either via the share link, or to specify in the Developer Console?
Thanks!
We all know that the Google spider comes by your website now and then to update their database so your website shows up in Google Search.
Is their a way to tell Google all the text I have in my app so it will show the Google Play Store page of my app when a users searches for keywords I use in my app?
I looked into the new Android feature of Google Indexing but those deep-links are something different.
I would like to index the content of my app so it can be found in Google Search before the user knows about and installed my app.
Background info: My app has a lot of (static) textual content in TextViews.
There is nothing like this that I am aware of.
Google indexes the text you put in the description of your app when you publish it on the Google Play Store.
Take a look at this:

And here is concrete advise on app discoverability from Google themselves:
