I have installed Linux OS with KVM and Android SDK. After that, I installed Google TV Add-on to it.
Next, I created AVD Google TV Addon (Google, Inc.) - API Level 12 with a screen resolution of 720p.
After running the emulator, the emulator works fine, but the emulator does not contain any browser. How to install the browser(google chrome)? I would like to run my web application in a Google TV emulator.
Browser is not supported in emulator. Please refer to this post for a workaround:
Google TV emulator without chrome browser?

I have just spent an hour reading through similar questions on Stack Overflow, and they are all for Android Studio, not Visual Studio Code. Also, I am doing Flutter development, so don't have access to adb commands, such as adb kill-server.
Everything was fine, unlike I clicked the power button on my emulated Android. Now, when I run/start debug and select active device, I get Failed to launch Nexus 5X API 29 x86: Error: Emulator didn't connect within 60 seconds.
How can I restart the emulated device? When it appears, clicking the power button does not seem to do anything. Is there a flutter terminal command?
Or can I somehow use a different emulator (if so, how)?
I faced the same issue with Android Virtual Device and Memu emulator so I switched to Genymotion.
I am using Genymotion personal edition which works amazingly and it's very light on resources too as compared to AVD and Memu.
You can download Genymotion Personal edition from Genymotion Personal Edition
Apart from Installing emulator Image you should also consider installing the GAPPS bundle in the emulator as it does not comes with it preinstalled. GAPPS will be needed in many apps requiring Google Play Services.
Here are the docs on how to install GAPPS in Genymotion emulator: GAAPS Docs

My Genymotion Emulator is Google Pixel 3a, 9.0 API 28.
I've installed Gapps (Gapps CyanogenMod 13, Android 6.0 – Marshmallow (for Android 6.0 Gapps also) HDPI / MDPI / TINY: gapps-600-base-20151016-1-signed.zip) on my Android guest OS on VS Emulator for Android (using the 5.7" Marshmallow 6.0.0 XHDPI Phone API Level 23 device image) per https://stackoverflow.com/a/31564712/229011 (and got a success message in adb) and the only thing that is surfacing after restarting the emulator and guest OS is the Google Play Store. Launching it just opens a blank white screen which promptly closes.
I've even tried drag-and-drop install of the gapps zip and it says it is successful and prompts to shutdown (which the adb method didn't do), but there is still no change.
I was having the same issue and then I added my google account to the emulator and it worked..
Settings -> Accounts -> Add Account -> Google
After that I was able to open "Play Store" and update google related services like "Google +" so that they ran.... Now I have a google map I can use in my emulator :-)
I've done this with the API Level 21 emulator using the 5.0 Gapps package
I have Samsung device with stock browser that called Internet.
The device is over 4.4 version.
I'm trying to remote debug the stock browser on a real device without success.
Already succeeded to remote debug chrome.
Is it possible on a real device and not on emulator?
The problem is just Samsung's stock browser
Hi!, Appium started to work with Android's stock browser (named.. Browser) since v1.3, the actual problem is the Samsung stock browser isn't Browser, it's Internet! These both apps are different (shame on Samsung!, not Appium guys fault). All other Android distributions that stock browser is Browser are working fine with Appium >= v1.3 as I've said before.
Emulator stock browser is Browser, that's why it's working for you on Emulator!
Why Appium doesn't work with Samsung's stock browser?
Appium are built to work with Chromium WebView (present on Chrome and Browser) , and Internet does not have it. So it doesn't work with Appium now, and probably won't work never, as Appium's maintainers does not have any interest to do the automation outside Chromium WebView. See this issue for more information: https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/4509
Ok, but how do I use Appium with Samsung devices?
So, the only solution is installing Chrome into your samsung device.
If you can't access the store to install the Chrome app, you can download and install manually the Chrome APK into your device (or other browser that uses Chromium webview, such as Chromium and ContentShell).
PS: ContentShell is basically only Chromium webview, without favorites, bookmarks and other common browser stuff, so it's pretty good for Appium testing.
Hey guys i want to run a simple hello world application on Samsung smart TV emulator but when i run my project as Samsung smart TV application .. an exception appeared which is :

I installed the SDK 5, the virtual box, and import the SDK emulator image
I also follow this solution But also its not working.
Can anybody knows How to solve this ?
It seems that the problem is in your virtual box. Have you downloaded the official one from Oracle. This version is working for me with SDK for Eclipse 4.5:

Is it possible to put Google TV Android app in PiP mode (not full screen)?
I think this would be a nice feature.
Currently, the only app that is able to run in PiP mode on Google TV is the "Live TV" app. We've passed the feature request on to the Google TV product development team, and we'll definitely let the dev community know if/when it's part of a release!
EDIT
There's a feature request opened for this at:
http://code.google.com/p/googletv-issues/issues/detail?id=13
If this is an important feature to you, add a star!
In Android 8.0 oreo, they support the custom pip mode now. The document is here.

Not only works for the tv devices but also mobile devices.
