Android TV Apps Development

* Introduction * Discuss what Android TV is * Discuss what needs to be considered before making the app (is it a game, or a media app? Does it make sense for the TV? DRM, supported formats, hardware restrictions. Why apps that are already created for tablets/phones need a design revamp) * Creating a Hello World application in Android Studio * Designing for TV * Overscan, grids, 10' view, anti-patterns * Colors and fonts * Using voice and recommendations * Allowing users to be relatively passive * Creating a Media Application * Manifest and gradle setup * Introduce the Leanback library that will be used for the majority of the media app. * RecyclerView grid of items, side navigation, preferences, cards * Search * Detail Fragment, recommendations* Video activity - this will probably be a shorter subheader since it's more about how the user wants to set it up, or if I need to add more content I can go into a little detail on the ExoPlayer, which is an open source video player from Google * Game Considerations * General design consideration, setting up the manifest to support games * How to work with the game controller - handling disconnects, new players, button and joystick interactions * How to communicate between secondary Android devices (phone, tablet) and the Android TV for a second screen experience. Going to look into the Nearby Messages API that was released yesterday to see if that's more viable, otherwise I know the Nearby Connections API works well. * Maybe a section on additional utilities in Play Game Services Distributing Android TV Applications * Checklist of requirements to get approved for distribution on the Play Store, and details on what those requirements are.
