Android TV and Google TV power millions of smart televisions and streaming devices worldwide. Our development team builds Leanback-compliant applications that deliver smooth D-pad navigation, Google Assistant voice integration, and rich media experiences on the big screen. Whether you are launching a streaming service, a fitness platform, or a digital signage solution, we engineer Android TV apps that meet Google certification requirements and delight living room audiences.

What We Offer

Leanback UI Framework

We use the Leanback library and Compose for TV to build browse, detail, and playback screens that follow Android TV design best practices.

Google Assistant Integration

Deep linking with App Actions allows users to launch content and control playback using voice commands through Google Assistant.

Adaptive Streaming

ExoPlayer-based media pipelines handle DASH, HLS, and SmoothStreaming with DRM support for secure, high-quality content delivery.

Recommendation Engine

We implement the Android TV recommendation row and Watch Next integration, keeping your content visible on the home screen.

Our Approach
