Bug ID: 481779
Summary: Android TV support
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Right now the KDE Connect app doesn't show natively on Android TV devices
because the metadata is missing.
Hence only third party launchers can launch KDE Connect on Android TV although
it especially useful on Android TV devices as they often only have limited
input capabilities and often no built-in possibilities to manage files on these
devices externally.
KDE Connect enables these functions easily but the requirement of needing a
third party launcher to even start and pair it adds an additional barrier to
non-tech-savvy folks.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Connect on Android TV
2. try to launch it in a default launcher
OBSERVED RESULT
The app doesn't show up
EXPECTED RESULT
It shows up
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
All Android versions
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Google provides documentation on what is needed for proper Android TV support
(i.e. a handy checklist at
https://developer.android.com/training/tv/publishing/checklist ) and apparently
it is possible to work with virtual devices (
https://developer.android.com/training/tv/start/start#run-on-a-virtual-device
).
