Android Question Overlay in FireTV sdk 23 and up...

[jaykobi79]

Hey everyone,

I’m working on an app that needs to use an overlay feature, but I’m running into some issues with getting the necessary permission. On my device, there’s no user option to allow this permission directly. I managed to enable the overlay by using ADB commands, and everything works fine after that.

However, I’ve seen other apps that seem to use overlays without prompting the user for permission. Does anyone know how these apps are doing it? Is there a workaround or specific method to implement an overlay without needing explicit user permission?

Any insights or advice would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Almost without a doubt, knowledgeable helpers here will want some example of your project's code. Remember to click the </> symbol above then place your code example within the new window which which will pop up. Otherwise you can insert your entire project (using file>export as zip in your project).
