Android TV launcher app not working as Home screen app

Question

I am trying to create a default launcher app for Android TV box. Here is the manifest:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.raza.mlauncher">

    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.software.leanback"
        android:required="false" />
    <uses-feature
        android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
        android:required="false" />

    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
        </intent>
    </queries>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:banner="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <activity
            android:launchMode="singleTask"
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:priority="2">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER_APP" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

But when I press home button on Android TV simulator, it does not ask to select the default home app. Even in settings of the device, there is no option available to choose a default launcher from installed ones. Is there any limitation on creating launcher apps for Android TV boxes?

Answer 1

Shouldn't leanback be set to true?

<uses-feature
    android:name="android.software.leanback"
    android:required="true" />
