Hi Mark

hello, Kumar!

we only have ~10 minutes left in the chat -- how can I help you today?

Mark, I have started working on android tv projects. Wanted to check if you have any resources that might help me. As I see the community is small and there is less of blogs and articles around this.

personally, I have not worked much with Android TV in years

Oh.

as you note, writing apps for TVs is a fairly niche topic

if your concerns are more in terms of UI, you might also look at other TV platforms, such as Amazon's Fire TV, and how developers are developing for it

if your concerns are fairly specific to Android TV, though, I do not have links to any specific resources for that -- sorry!

but... that's the job of a product/UX team: over-customize everything! :-)

Ya.

Mine is specific to Android tv

Thanks, that was the only question I had.

sorry I could not be of more help to you!

Just one last thing, have you come across good open source projects in Android tv. There is one from google apart from that anything else

I had some trivial stuff back in *The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development*, but that is now rather old

otherwise, I have not paid a lot of attention to Android TV, so I do not have any handy open source recommendations, at least in terms of simple stuff

popular open source media players, like VLC, might have Android TV-specific interfaces

but, those projects tend to be large

The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development*. --> I will check this.

Is it covered well enough to understand the core topics. most of them remain same

Leora: hi! the chat is nearly over! do you have a quick question?
