I am developing an app for an Android device running Android L 5.1.1 that will be hooked on TVs.
The device however is not an "Android TV" device.
My question is: can I still leverage the "Android TV" platform, for example to handle TV hardware (remote, gamepad) and 10-foot UI?
Maybe by using a compatibility library? or are those features strictly limited to compatible devices?
After testing it out:
Yes, you can run an app using the Android TV platform on a device which is not an "Android TV" device.
