Google Now is apparently part of the Google Search app. It allows users to open the Google Now interface by swiping up from the home button on most devices. While swiping, users can see an overlaid circle with the name "Google".
My question is, how would I, your average Android app developer, be able to make something that acts just like Google Now? I haven't been able to find anything in the Android SDK that lets you do stuff like that. Is it a feature of Android that only Google and ROM developers can use (because it is part of core Android source)? If so, why is it "part of the Google Search app"?
If you have an activity with an intent filter of android.intent.action.VOICE_COMMAND, then when the user swipes up it will ask them what app to launch. If they click to launch your app by default then everytime they swipe up they'll open your app.

I want to make an app to open another app and click on a coordinate.
I know it is possible in the windows app I'm just looking for a way for android.
I designed an app that opens another app.
+I'm the only user of my app, so it could have any permission that requires.
I won't say it is impossible, probably with some hack, but it is impractical and raises a whole lot of issues. There are ways that Android allows for apps to share data and to communicate, but clicking button in another app, NO.

Will implementing the App Index API help improve the visibility of my app while using Google Search if it is not yet installed on a device\tablet? Considering that my app does not have any related website content to display.
I just want my app to be more visible to users searching for certain specific keywords e.g. 'recipes', 'wifis' etc.
Here is the API i am talking about.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aISUYHTkTOU
In the video they do say that they have discovered new apps, apart from re-engaging with the old ones but does not say how.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
App Indexing associates your app with urls, either website urls or custom-scheme urls that refer to content that your app displays. So if you have content in your app that you can define custom urls for (like android-app://my.package.name/...), then even if the content is not on a website, you can implement app indexing and have that content show up in Google search results (along with a prompt to install your app if they don't have it installed.)
However, if you don't have any content that your app displays, then app indexing won't help you. It's not a general tool to put your app in search results unrelated to your content.

I am trying to setup a Facebook app. Im using it for sharing and invites on my Android app.
I made a request to use "publish_actions" on Android, and it got approved.
But for some reason, on developers.facebook.com, when editing the app, under AppDetails, next to AppInfo on top is a icon that says "Unapproved" when hovered over.
On dashboard, i can see the green circle that says "Live and available to all users".
Invite notifications don't seem to be received (although they do get sent) so I'm thinking that this could be the problem?
How can i request approval of my AppInfo?
the app info is unapproved because the app doesn't have the numbers to get featured in the appcenter. When people go crazy about your app, and your installs grow, and the app usage too, you'll have the possibility to submit your app info for review. For notifications we need the code. It's a totally unrelated problem.

How to open a installed game not from main menu, but from another app (say master app).
I've created Android games using AIR 3.2 for Android in Adobe Flash Professional CS6 and installed around 50 games on my Android device and all the games are there on the main menu. First step I want to do is that:
When I install the game, I want to hidden the installed games from the main menu, so that the users should not be able to play my games simply from main menu.
Now I want to created another app (say master app) with only the games Images and its names inside this app(the games which I created and installed) and arrange it in rows and column based on some categories.
now I want to link this game images with their respective games which is already installed in the device, so that when the user tap on this game image, the actual game should open and the user should be able to play the game.
Can anyone please help me out to achive this goal...
please post your comments and sample codes which will help me to develope this app.
To do something like this you can :
Remove the games from the launcher (i.e. the "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" intent-filters in each manifest.xml)
Start your games from your main app by using intents

I published 2 android apps recently First app Second app and they are found by searching on google play. But when i search them on google search they don't show up. What can be the problem ? Also is there a way that google play will show my app a bit earlier, like finding some keywords to use or something ?
.
And will be thankful if someone lets me know if the apps look alright.
While publishing your app, you are notified that it takes time for the app to appear throughout the Play Store. Sometimes it appears on desktop version n later on mobile app. It takes about 3-4 hours before everyone gets it.
No, Google specifically prohibits the use of misleading keywords to increase your app's rank in the search. Make sure you include only relevant keywords in the description. The title can also contain extra words so that users find your app faster (e.g. Google's Hangouts app title on the Play Store is Hangouts (Replaces Talk))
Sometimes many applications in google play may have similar name of your application.
Give some fancy unique name to your application .
