Apps-android-commons: Implement Google Assistant for nearest location needing pictures, browsing, uploads, etc

[maskaravivek]

Summary:

Was just wondering if it would be cool to launch the upload flow in the Commons app directly from Google assistant. I can't think much about what all actions could be performed using the assistant launcher but it would surely be a novelty feature to have.

The basic action that I can think of is:

"Hey, Google! Upload photo on Commons"

Would you like to work on the issue?

Yes. Have worked on a couple of assistant apps in the past and it would be a cool thing to work on. :D

Sounds interesting to me! Would be nice if it would show the nearest location needing pictures, too. :)

[maskaravivek]

Yes, great idea. Asking google about nearest location needing pictures would be a much better action.

Something like:

• find nearest place that needs a picture on Commons
• navigate me to the nearest place that needs a picture on Commons

Also, it would be great to use google Assistant for browsing.
Something like

• Google, search some butterflies from commons.

@maskaravivek can you share a link using which we can integrate Google Assistant?

[maskaravivek]

Nice suggestion @ujjwalagrawal17.

Here's the link for Google Assistant's console.

This looks really good - I might have a look into it if I get the time
