Is it possible to make an Android app for Android TV that uses accessibility service?


I made an Android app. Now I need the app to work on Android TV. My app uses the accessibility service but I can't find how to enable the accessibility service for my app on Android TV.

How can it be done?


Solution

  • There is no guarantee that any given Android TV device will support accessibility services, or at least offer accessibility via the Settings app.

    You could try adding a button or something to your own app UI that launches an ACTION_ACCESSIBILITY_SETTINGS activity. Be sure to wrap that in try/catch and figure out what you will do if that screen simply is unavailable.
