I am attempting to build my first Google TV application and the documentation does not reflect the screens I am seeing.

The following URL is a walk-through to install the Google TV add-on ( https://developers.google.com/tv/android/docs/gtv_addon ). I installed the recommended ADT (version 16.0.1), which doesn’t have an “Android AVD and SDK Manager”. They appear to be separate modules within the ADT I installed. Neither of them include “Third party Add-ons” as described in the walk-through. As a result, I have installed quite a few SDKs and can’t figure out how to make an AVD that supports Google TV.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Are you on Linux? The Google TV AVD is limited to linux only at this point in time.

    Also: Yes the “AVD and SDK Manager” got split up with the most recent tools. Use the “SDK Manager” to install new components and the “AVD Manager” to create emulator instances.

    You can find the Google TV addon under API 12 (Android 3.1.) within the SDK manager, if you sort by API levels. Click the checkbox next to it and press “Install packages”.

    enter image description here

    After you installed the addon, open the AVD manager and create a new AVD. Select “Google TV Addon (API 12)” under “Target”.
