Google is updating Google TV and Android TV with developer tools to enhance content discoverability and future-proof apps. Gemini, an AI voice assistant, now provides tailored content recommendations using app metadata. To prepare for pointer remotes, developers must support hover states, scrollable containers, and cursor clicks within their app UI. Testing with a mouse simulates pointer interaction for developers. Developers should declare pointer support in the AndroidManifest.xml file using the android.software.leanback.supports_touch metadata tag. Jetpack Compose is recommended for building adaptable and reusable UI components. The Engage SDK, formerly Video Discovery API, optimizes Resumption, Entitlements and Recommendations. The Engage SDK offers features like resuming paused videos in the 'Continue Watching' row and personalized recommendations. The Engage SDK is replacing the Watch Next API, with support ending in 2027. Developers are encouraged to begin onboarding with the Engage SDK.
