For now, it’s fine to run the app this way because you’ll set up a TV emulator shortly. Then, build and run the project on a phone or existing phone emulator. Open the project in Android Studio 4.1 or later by selecting Open an Existing Project on the Android Studio welcome screen or by selecting File ▸ Open if you have another project open already. To get started, download the Netderlix project using the Download Materials button at the top or bottom of this tutorial. 
For example, you have to declare a TV Activity - more on that later. Your app has to fill some criteria to be available from Play Store on Android TV. There are some caveats and requirements, though.
TV apps have the same code structure as those for phones and tablets. If you know how to build layouts for Android Phones or Tablets, you’ll find building TV layouts pretty easy. If you’re completely new to Android development, read through our Beginning Android Development tutorials to familiarize yourself with the basics.Īndroid TV contains the Android system.
