Is there a way to use the ACTION_ASSIST (Google now) intent on Android 6.0?

I think this might have changed with the now on tap feature - but perhaps (hopefully) there is still a way to hook into this.

  • What do you mean by "use the ASSIST ( google now ) intent"? Do you mean implement an assistant to replace Now On Tap? – CommonsWare Oct 29 '15 at 18:57
  • No just use it as a launch entry point. I have a launcher and this was always a good entry-point – ligi Oct 29 '15 at 19:04

As stated by Dianne Hackborn:

ACTION_ASSIST is deprecated, though if you turn off the new assistant you can select an old ACTION_ASSIST assistant to use instead (and then also get to select an old voice recognizer).

You can choose a custom application, instead Google Now, here:

Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Assist & voice input -> Assist app
