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.

When trying to run my test app on a HVD emulator, I get the following error message:
App Launch: The Huawei Lite Simulator supports only Lite projects.
Meanwhile I've realized, that currently one can only use hardware or a remote emulator for such a project. But when trying to set this up, the Harmony OS Virtual Device Manager responds with 404:
Is there anything to do about it?
I haven't tried with DevEco Studio on Windows so far, but with Android Studio on Linux, which appears to be functioning now.
With HMS Toolkit version 1.0.5, it will ask for Huawei ID and then also lists devices in Düsseldorf or Ireland (where the one is a city and the other a country). However, there are currently only EMUI ROM available. It integrates better than before, but without an HarmonyOS 2.0 ROM, it still doesn't provide the expected environment.
I'm using Android Studio 2.3.3 and I need to test my app on an emulator without Google Play Services. I know that it was pretty easy to create one using the old device manager (as described in this question), but I can't figure out how to do it with the new one.
The SDK Manager tells me that the system images that I want/need (API level 25) are installed:
Android Wear Intel x86 Atom System Image
Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image
At the "Select a system image" step for my new virtual device, only images with the Google APIs are presented under the "Recommended" tab. I've checked "x86 Images" and "Other Images" but no options without Google Play Services are to be found anywhere. I've also looked through all the settings options available at the "Verify Configuration" step without finding anything useful.
Does anyone know how to do this, or is it perhaps in fact no longer possible?
I'm just getting started on Samsung Smart TV development, and so far my first baby step has been a big failure.
I am running Linux, and because I already have Eclipse installed and configured for Android development, I haven't had success in getting the Smart TV SDK installed and working. However, encouraged by How to build & deploy a Samsung SmartTV app without the IDE (e.g: on Linux), I have decided to go forward without it.
I do have the VirtualBox emulator running, however. So right now, I have built a basic app from the example here:
http://www.samsungdforum.com/upload_files/files/guide/data/html/html_2/getting_started/coding_js.html
And would like to see if I can just get it to start up on my emulator.
If I understand correctly, I need to take the directory structure of my app (with config.xml, index.html, and the Resources, JavaScript and CSS folders), package it into a .zip, and drop it in the "Apps" folder I have shared with the emulator. But when I do that, if I go to the emulator, refresh it, and hit "Open App", I am presented with an empty App list.
I know that the emulator is seeing the Apps folder, because if I put a subdirectory in it, then that directory shows in the Apps list in the emulator. But it's not showing the .zip file for my app.
I have been scouring the web for any useful information, but all tutorials just say something along the lines of "now test the app in your emulator to make sure it works. Now on to deployment...". Nobody gives any information on how to test the app in the emulator.
Can someone please shine some light on this for me?
Unzip your app in the app folder it should look like this
Samsung TV SDK 4\apps\yourapp\index.html
Samsung TV SDK 4\apps\yourapp\config.xml
Samsung TV SDK 4\apps\yourapp\other files and folders
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've found this problem a few times on the web, but no answer:
I'm running an android application (using C2DM) on an emulator using a google api avd (api 8 upwards, tried a few of them). I've managed to register a google account on the device, but it says "sync is off".
Anybody knows how to turn this on?
Try the latest version of Google API's Add-on with an emulator and it may have solved the issue of using the account's sync on. as described here. Not guaranteed though !
You need install Google Apps
