Philips QM163XE does not add any channel about androidtv-sample-inputs HOT 5 OPEN

The problem causing the Philips not adding channels is line 306 in Channel.java:
values.put(TvContract.Channels.COLUMN_SEARCHABLE, mSearchable);
If I disable this line, it is working with your sample.
Line 97-98 is not causing a problem, but bad code which should not be in an official Google sample project.

from androidtv-sample-inputs.

Got it working now. Problem seems to be the updateChannels() method which I replaced. I will provide a working example tomorrow. Please also have a look at the weird lines 97 and 98 of TvContractUtils, they seem to be duplicated.

from androidtv-sample-inputs.

Lines 97-98

cursor = resolver.query(channelsUri, projection, null, null, null);
cursor = resolver.query(channelsUri, projection, null, null, null);

Yes, it is being repeated.
Is this causing a problem on Philips TVs?

COLUMN_SEARCHABLE:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/tv/TvContract.Channels.html#COLUMN_SEARCHABLE

This seems like a problem in the Philips implementation of TIF or Android TV. That's a field that should exist as part of the Android framework and developers shouldn't have to worry about a problem with that field.

Someone within Google should probably get in contact with Philips about fixing this bug. A workaround could be checking the device name before setting that field.

Removing this line makes the fixed sample project (#44) work, on an android box (API 25) and an emulator (API 30)
