I am developing an TV Channels app and i am using TV channel button to redirect on official page for watching Tv channel. I want to add Tv Channel logos on every channel link button. I want to know that can i use logos of channels on my app, or there is any restrictions or copyright issues. If this is illegal way to directly add logos or copyright issues, so how i can use logos on my app. Or is there any api that provide both streaming and logos or another way to use. Because i've seen there are many apps that are using logos of tv channels on there apps. Like this and this
Thanks

I've submitted an app to Apple, and by default, the TV app icon seems to be scaled up and blurred to use as the background of the app page in the store. Given the design of this app icon, it doesn't look good.
I've seen other apps, Netflix and Disney+, using wallpapers that they designed themselves. Any idea where these are uploaded? Or are they baked into the actual app?
Apple "invites/features" specific developers and enables this feature in App Store Connect. ("Promo images") You cannot enable this yourself.
I would like to know after I built an application for Google TV, how can I get the app listed under http://www.google.com/tv/apps.html, or does Google do anything to help promoting Google TV Only Apps? Since it takes a separate effort to design TV friendly UI and Navigation system, what can we do to make it more visible to Google TV users? Right now the Play Store is very messy and unorganized in a way or it might only because the country I am located.
You should contact the Google TV developer advocates. In particular, Les Vogel, or Krispy. In the past they have looked at apps and provided feedback. They have also helped to get interesting apps into the featured section of the Play Store on Google TV.
You might also consider joining the Sony Developer Network, which allows you to upload your app and have them test it on their Google TV devices. They provide a test report which will help to make your app better for the TV experience. If they like your app, they can also add it to their own featured app section of the Play Store on their Google TV devices.
There is a Google TV community on G+ where you can post about your app to get some feedback from users. Do a Google search and you will also find other forums that deal with Google TV and will help to get the word out about your app.
The best marketing tool is to have a web site for you app and provide a blog to tell users about updates and plans you have for the app. You should also create a YouTube video to show your app in action. Create pages on the various social networks so that users can follow your progress.
Nothing, featured apps are either apps for GTV that are very successful or apps that Google has picked. Currently there is no way of doing anything against that. But I guess Google will work on that if they will continue GTV.
I am doing some compareson between Smart TV platforms way to develop applications and I wonder if Google TV applications only are available in "Full screen" mode? In other words taking up the whole screen.
Samsung Smart TV have three different application layouts available, see link: http://www.samsungdforum.com/upload_files/files/guide/data/html/html_2/getting_started/intro_to_samsung_smarttv_apps.html
Full screen, Single-wide application and ticker. This specifyes how much space the application takes up on the screen so the user can for example watch tv while using the application, because the application only takes up a part of the screen.
I found this FAQ:
Can I use picture-in-picture (PIP) in my Google TV Android application?
No. The picture-in-picture (PIP) feature is only available for live TV. You can't use it in your Android application, nor can you run an Android application in the PIP window.
From that answer I want to say that Google TV applications can only be used in full screen mode. Am I right?
Thanks for helping
Yes they can only be run in fullscreen mode. That is to say only one app can have focus at a particular time. You can however make your app transparent for the most part to allow whatever is underneath it to show through. This post has a good solution Full screen transparent activity (no title & status bar) doesn't work.... why?
Iam an android developer and wanted to know if someone has already started developing android apps for Google TV on its emulator.
I have read the google's documents on Google TV and I have few of my thoughts revolving around my way . I wanna know which all capabilities does the Google Tv SDK gives us while working with Google TV emulator..
Does Live TV uses Activity or Fragments on top of which the content(TV SHOWS) is displayed ?
Can we control the Live TV feature provided by Google by customizing the Views of Live TV like placing a widget which shows the newly released movies on a timely basis?
Is Live TV only a native app provided by Google and doesn't offer any flexibility wherein we can replace the Live TV app by writing our own app which shows the same content(TV SHOWS) offered by Live TV ? (as we can modify default contacts app in our android mobile devices)
Please address my confusions !!
There is no official way to have live tv participate with your apps.
You can change the channel of the TV using an intent from your app. (And find out about channels using the channel listing content provider.)
There is no supported way to do this.
You can not make any changes in with live tv thought apps. You can only change the programs not everything. If you Google want to change then they do it, because they have all rights of content. Now all the process are digitilaized. Why Google can made changes in it? Reason Firstly they will receive all the programs by channels after that they will upload on own server. After that send the signals to satellites and satellite send these signals to the users.
I've seen presentations given on mobile webapps which use a desktop browser, and an iframe containing the mobile app. Surrounding the iframe is an image of an iPhone or Android device, so it all basically looks like a simulator.
Where can I find images of mobile device 'bezels' that can be used for this?
This is the best list I know: Free Wireframing Kits, UI Design Kits, PDFs and Resources
They are mostly PSD and Omnigraffle files for both the iPhone and the Android.
Apple provides marketing resources to developers, in conjunction with a required agreement. This includes the "App Store badge" and device images.
Google supplies the Android "green robot" logo and has guidelines as to the permitted usages. I imagine Android device images are available from the manufacturers.
Companies' web pages always have pictures of the devices they're trying to promote. And you can be sure that the images are very good ones. That's where I get all my pics.
You can download artwork of the devices from:
https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/marketing/
You need an Apple developer account.
