Android: As seen on TV!
summary
Android on TV moves from Honeycomb to API level 17 (Jelly Bean), adds NDK support and upgrades Chrome so HTML5 Encrypted Media Extensions and Widevine/PlayReady DRM work; media player now supports adaptive‑bitrate, low‑latency streaming, QoS counters and closed captions. Practical notes: declare android.hardware.touchscreen as not required (or use android.hardware.touchscreen false), handle DPAD focus explicitly, check ConnectivityManager.TYPE_ETHERNET as well as WIFI, and test on real Google TV hardware; examples shown include Netflix HTML5, TuneIn UI and Asphalt 7.
