Many problems while going through tutorial

[selena775]

• When on app opens, it doesn't prefilled TODO list with the repository data
• When shortcuts are defined, the App Actions Test Tool v3.5.5 reports an error: No Android Module with actions file reference found. Do we need actions.xml? If yes, please provide the steps in the tutorial here
• I've noticed meta-data tag for the shortcuts, defined under activity tag in AndroidManifest.xml. I've tried moving it one level up, under application tag, still plugin error
• The App Actions Gradle Plugin error, was not able to create a preview
• Had problems with Google PlayStore and privacy url. Had to provide it with one Please provide a feedback. I would love to continue with the Google Shortcuts tutorial.

If you are following the beta codelab, you will work exclusively with shortcuts.xml and not at all with actions.xml. Make sure you are using the new Android Studio plugin called "Google Assistant" which works with shortcuts.xml and not the old plugin called "App Actions Test tool" which only works with actions.xml.

Hello @selena775 @CodingDoug I have spent days trying to make Google Assistant able to open my app. Did you were able to make this tutorial work as expected?

Please close this issue. I am sure it is working perfectly now, but I will double check later on this week. Thank you so much for your time and effort to teach us developers how to code better and more efficient. Thank you

Hello, @selena775 I was also able to make it run using the Google Assistant tool in Android Studio It works as expected with intents like "Hey Google, look up milk in todo application" or "Hey Google, show me completed tasks in todo application" but it does not with "Hey Google, open todo application", in this case it do a search in the internet. Did you try that before?
