Android TV published app not visible in sony bravia android tv

Question

I have developed an app using Leanback Library. The app is working fine on Sony Android TV.

But when I have published the app successfully on play store then when i am searching app on my Sony Android TV store it is showing No Results Found message.

Here is Manifest of my TV app.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.test.app"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0">

    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
        android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature

        android:required="false" />


    <uses-feature

            android:screenOrientation="landscape"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible|stateVisible">

        <activity android:name=".MemoryVaultActivity" />
        <activity android:name=".SearchActivity" />
        <activity android:name=".CustomFragment" />


    </application>

</manifest>

On store only showing two supported devices.

1. Letv Max3-65

2. Letv Super TV X3-55 Pro

My Question is: What changes i need to made in my Manifest ? or any other suggestions to make it workable on Sony Android TV.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

I have removed following feature in my AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.faketouch"
        android:required="false" />

I have also removed following permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS" /> //It was for Crittercism

As my app intended for Android TV, Touchscreen emulator and Microphone hardware feature does not support Android TV. That's why I have removed, and I was success to upload application to Play Store with compatible Sony Android TV.
