Using SourcePoint's Android SDK with Android TV
Raw
SourcePoint_AndroidTV.md

Android TV

Our Android SDK can be used, without modifications, with Android TV.

Limitations

  1. Although a WebView is present, most of Android TV don't include an external browser. Opening links from within the consent message or PM, needs re-thinking. We currently open them in an external browser, this narrows the scope of the SDK and can concentrate on dealing with only SDK related resources in the WebView.

  2. Navigation needs to be 1st class citzen. On mobile, the user is free to tap anywhere in the screen and navigating between elements is effortless. On an OTT environment, the navigation is limited to a directional controller, making it difficult to navigate from one element to another when the order of the elements is not thought up-front.
