Thought i would share some shots of my new TV Setup the 4 tiles that say Live TV don’t do anything yet well the first tile goes to live TV but the other 3 are just place holders until I decide what to map them to.
Its not possible to use Widgets, Custom Views, Pager Indicators, lightning actions, shortcuts and some other cool stuff so I was quite limited to what I could do. I think it turned out great though clean simple and lightning ⚡ fast.
Ok im an idiot just realized the add item dialogs scrollable (maybe disable the scrollbar fade here so its easy to see the dialog scrolls) so I can use custom views page indicators, lightning actions and all that good stuff. I still cant use widgets but im guessing thats because theres no widget picker installed. Hopefully once I get a propper bluetooth mouse I can open the navdrawer in the script editor and run some cool scripts 😃
Gotta Bluetooth mouse + keyboard and now I can open the navdrawer and run scripts I only tried a simple Hello World Dialog but it works great this is gunna be a game changer for sure!. TrianguloY could you or Lukas make the repository importer visible on TVs so it doesnt have to be sideloaded?
Make it available shouldn’t be very difficult, a specific intent in the main activity should work.
However there are requirements for a tv application such as big buttons, option to scroll with a keypad, no ‘finger required’ things, etc. Unfortunately the app fails in almost all of them, because this is not a tv app.
I don’t know if Google will say anything about a non-tv app set as a tv one. But as they normally act (ban) before ask, I prefer no to try.
What you are trying to do is using a non-tv app on a tv, so a sideload is somehow a requirement. (Adding that lightning is also a non-tv app)
