Hi all!
This is my first post, I'm an Italian boy, sorry for my bad english. I had an idea with raspberry pi v2 (the quadcore with 1gb of ram version) and a display tft. Since i'd buy mi raspberry pi B version in day one, my though was to put in Android o.s., but becouse of the arm processor we can't, now the v2 version got a newest arm and Android should be work. My project consists in a Android Wear version for raspberry pi, i'll put a raspberry with a touch display gpio or flat in a wall, like a thermostat, so i can use "ok google" connecting it by wifi, the wear 5.1.1 seems to support it, so he can search online basic command like weather or traffic information. I think that Android Wear is more powerful and with dedicated application like in the smartwatches we can use the gpio pin of the raspberry to control the house like temperature, lights or music. With the WiFi connection to the Android Wear app in the smartphone we can also answer the notifications simply like a smartwatch.
I have a basic experience in programming languages and electronic, but no one born learned and i'm here because i think there are a lot of experts. First of all i think i need an Android Wear 5.1.1 complete image, where can i get it?

Hi.
I'm starting with android development. I've developed a pair of apps for android devices.
Now I've got a new project where I have to develop a car media infotainment like enviroment based on android. To do this, I need to buy a development board which lets me program using the latest android versions and that mantains up to date. This hardware should contain LCD screen, bluetooth, USB ports, HDMI, etc...
What I really need is to find something that I could use to develop, and also as a final implementation for the real use.
Have suggested the BeagleBone Black. I find good for testing and programing, should do the work as a development board, but not as a final aplication to set it on a car.
Any suggestions?
I am just curious to know what benefit X86 support would have?
it says "cross-platform support on ARM, x86, and MIPS technology"
so does it mean that now it will be easy to install new android on my X86 laptop running core i3?
also i think that if android now natively supports X86 so it would be easy to make it an OS for desktop with some tweaking in UI element to make it keyboard and mouse friendly...(PS: i dont have much knowledge of software development)
i use windows mainly for playing AAA PC games(only thing android cant do for me),i wish android to one day support high end graphic cards like nvidia gtx 780 along with developers support for AAA games that would be a dream come true situation for me because then i could ditch costly windows altogether :laugh:

Well yeah it will improve the support. But it's already done. I mean, android as a pc os (without tweaking them ). Check this site
www.android-x86.org
The android l is just gonna improve this project and make him better. About tweaking theme, the best solution i can offer is to install xposed and xhalowindow (if its called that i cant remember) and install a launcher (right now there isn't a launcher that is look just like windows, so it's need to be developed, I think it is time to do so with the new 2014 google android tv, I mean to make and old pc a google android tv and make the best of the old device)
The android x86 work with usb input, any gpu, LAN, wifi, bluetooth, mouse, pad, keyboard, microphone, camera and multitouch and more
The only weaknesses is that a lot of apps that doesn't support x86 prossesor (only ARM prossesor) will bring force close. It doesn't mean that all the ARM apps, but a lot of them. Another weakness is that apps that doesn't support rotation, will rotate all the screen untill shutdown (unless you'll install an app that force landscape rotation everywhere)
Hi,
I'd like to buy an Android set-top box for watching IPTV, using XBMC and use several others applications (browser/facebook/Twitter/Netflix...), but I have troubles figuring out what devices will be enough for me and what apps I will be able to use with a "classic" Android remote (not a keyboard or trackpad remote controller).
Is there a way to list in the Play Store the apps that are compatible with a remote ?
I'm also confused about the new Android TV platform and the Android TV Launcher. It seems the first will only be available on some partners new devices like Sony and requires Lollipop and the latter is available for every device running at least KitKat. Is this right ?
Is it better for me to buy now a 4.4 set-top box (the Bee-link UBox R89 seems nice), or wait for a 5.0 Android TV-certified device ?
(Sorry, no links allowed in my post, I'm a new user)
Thx
So, I'm not much of an android or android wear developer, so it would take me way too long to create this app and or watch face, but maybe someone with better skills would like to give it a try?
I would like to be able to monitor my gaming PC from my android wear watch, either with an app or a customizable watch face (preferably both). There is already an MSI Afterburner Remote Server program for PC, and an android phone app to use with it, but so far as I can tell, there is no android wear apps or watch faces for it.
Anyone up for the challenge of making it? It would be awesome to have all that info right there on your wrist, hands free, while gaming!
Hello!
I am wondering does someone here tried to use any touchscreen foil/screen to control his Android TV device. I read from official android docs that TV devices should be controlled via remote not touchscreen, however I feel touch control can ba as intuitive as remote for TVs or any other displays with Android TV interface.
There is instruction with kernel modules how to achieve that, but with older Android versions: https://www.dognmonkey.com/techs/how-to-add-touch-screen-to-android-tv-box.html
Does someone know anything how to grasp this topic? Any hints will be appreciated.

that is an intresting idea, and seems perfectley possible, not sure how android tv UI will respod to touch as seems to have issues with mouse pointer (which is a virtual touch) in some instances like the initial set up screen ui
