I need to develop Android TV-Box (android device, which use TV, as the screen) app.

Anyone done this? I can not find a good example to understand all the intricacies of this interaction. Maybe you will be able to help me?

Answer 1

If you are talking IP TV-BOX, then Android is a good choice if your streaming media solution is not that complex.

If you are going to do DVB TV-BOX with Android, you have to consider a lot more like CA, DVB tuner, DVB player etc.

Answer 2

As far as I know, the only difference is that you will have different input peripherials. You don't have touch screen, don't have keyboard. Rather, you'll have Bluetooth and network connections. The UI is the same as for mobile devices.

And of course, you won't have ScreenOrientationChange :)
