I am writing an application that will serve for tv and smartphone. For now I just want to differentiate the main screen depending on the device. I have placed fragments, and that are therefore arranged differently according to the device. But when I launch the application on TV, it is not tvActivity that is launched but the mainActivity
Also, i have 2 launcher in the manifest, one
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
and the other
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
Here is my code :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.jamesp.fragmenttest">
<uses-feature android:name="android.software.leanback"
android:required="false" />
<!--Unsupported TV hardware features-->
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.faketouch"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.microphone"
android:required="false"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sensor"
android:required="false"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:banner="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".TvActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/Theme.Leanback">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
TvActivity :
public class TvActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_tv);
}
}
MainActivity :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static final String TAG = "TAG";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
UiModeManager uiModeManager = (UiModeManager) getSystemService(UI_MODE_SERVICE);
if (uiModeManager.getCurrentModeType() == Configuration.UI_MODE_TYPE_TELEVISION) {
Log.d(TAG, "Running on a TV Device");
setContentView(R.layout.activity_tv);
} else {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d(TAG, "Running on a non-TV Device");
}
}
}
With this test I can differentiate and therefore choose the right layout, but I don't understand why Tv is launching MainActivity.
Thanks
