Google has launched a development framework called “Composer for TV” that allows developers to develop apps that run on Android TV with more efficient code and a more intuitive development interface.
Google’s website that the Composer for TV framework has strong compatibility, so developers can directly use existing TV apps for porting. At the same time, the Composer for TV framework supports direct calls to the Android API, which means that existing Android apps can be ported to Google TV without secondary development. In addition, Google has also released UI design specifications for Android TV to help developers improve the interaction experience of apps on the big screen.
Undoubtedly, Google’s Chromecast is just a test run in the TV field, but with Samsung, the biggest TV maker, abandoning Tizen for Android TV in recent years, Google has rekindled its ambition in the TV field, and expanding the number of apps on it has naturally become a priority. The Composer for TV framework is the best tool for Google to expand its TV ecosystem.
