Is there a way an app can be written for Sony Google TV screen saver? I.e., can an Android app take over the screen saver mode of the TV?
Sorry, it is currently not possible for a 3rd party app to take over the screen saver mode on Google TV.

I'm working in a application to use mobile camera as a webcam.
I have mobile app and desktop app working, already streaming phone camera to desktop app. I'm using flutter and webrtc.
But the question now is, how i make to recognize my desktop app as a webcam in pc? In my research I found content about "virtual webcam". I don't know if this is the right way.
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 want to implement read/scan bar code in my iPhone application. I would like to know how to implement it into our iPhone app and also some links and example code and apps to check out how it works.
You can use our free app pic2shop as an external barcode scanner (from a web page or from another app). Here is a demo and detailed info: http://www.pic2shop.com/developers.html
It works even on non-autofocus devices (iPad2, iPod Touch, iPhone 3G and many Android phones).
for website that embed flash to capture camera (red5..etc). may i know is there any handset that currently support flash and can used to capture image from handset camera?
The HTC Hero reputedly has Flash. However, this is not part of standard Android, and I have no idea if it can access the camera in any way.
Not an iPhone. No Flash support.
Yeah, we can access the device camera using flash AIR application.
Recently I tested that and got good output.
I dont know about the iPhones, I tested on android device HTC Desire HD.
