A demonstration of a Flutter Android TV app , showing how the "d-pad" (Android remote) can be accessed.

flutter run

1. Build an app that has the “d-pad” support (here is one I prepared earlier: https://github.com/cocreations/android_tv_dpad_basic)
2. Use serve in the folder with the .apk so it’s available via port 80
3. Use ngrok to get the location available on the internet

flutter build apk  
cd build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/
serve
ngrok http 5000   # this in another tab

1. Go into Apps, open the Google Play Store, and
2. Install an app that will allow browsing to a URL (I found and recommend Downloader by AFTVnews)
3. Go home, open Settings (cog icon) > Apps > Security & restrictions
4. Untick Verify apps, choose Unknown sources, and allow the new Downloader by AFTVnews app to do this
5. Go home, and run the Downloader by AFTVnews app, and type in the ngrok URL (eg. https://b3cdd4f102eb.ngrok.io/app-release.apk)
6. Install and Open the app !
