Android Question Android TV Leanback is supported?

[Jerez]

Hello,

I want to know if Android TV Leanback is supported or just a "cheat" to run Android Phone apps on Android TV?

If not, any possible way to port this library to use in B4A? $$ I'm able to do a reasonable pay.

You can follow the steps explained here to create a TV app: https://developer.android.com/training/tv/start/start.html

Currently there is no wrapper available for the leanback library.

Really? I this the unique way? Can nobody wrap this library for me $$$? We built our complete system based in B4A, B4J and B4i... too late to move to another framework.

The steps that you should follow can be easily done from B4A. You just need to add a few snippets to the manifest editor.

What are the steps?

I added

AddManifestText(<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen" android:required="false"/>)
AddManifestText(<uses-feature android:name="android.software.leanback" android:required="false" />)

but am stuck on this!

<application
android:banner="@drawable/banner">
...
<activity
android:name="com.example.android.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">

<intent-filter>
<actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

<activity
android:name="com.example.android.TvActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/Theme.Leanback">
...

Thanks
