Android Studio - Can't find app icon on TV homescreen
When I install my app using a file explorer on my tv, I can run it and everything but I do not know how to create an icon that will sit on the home screen of the tv
Here is my AndroidManifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.sony.omgandroid" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".FullscreenActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/FullscreenTheme" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
It utilizes the android:banner
in the AndroidManifest
on the application
tag.
<application
android:name=".ExampleApp"
android:banner="@drawable/app_banner"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
You need add in AndroidManifest.xml
file
android:banner
android:icon
android:logo
and android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER
example:
<activity
...
android:banner="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:logo="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
