'Standalone' apps don't have to go away. OHA should commit to openness

You can probably make a single apk that can do either the phone or tv
half of the job. But why
Um. People. Google TV does not have Market on it. This didn't happen by
accident. The platform isn't yet ready to give apps and their users a good
experience on such devices. You know, a deliberate decision to not cause
unreasonable pain for developers. As has been the case at pretty much

There are very few things forcing people to use separate .apks. Yes, prior
to 2.0, if an API was being made available as a shared library, you couldn't
use android:required=false to allow your app to still be installed
I am sorry it is undocumented. But it is there, and you can use it starting
with 2.0 and later.

Hi,
It is a little premature to start freaking out about Google TV and making up
stories (OMG we'll need to maintain multiple .apks!) about how horrible
things are.
Apologies, just getting ahead of ourselves in anticipation of being
able to create app's than span and work together across the

And when I use my phone touchscreen app to control my TV app hopefully

What do you mean what?
Your phone touchscreen app will work fine with your touchscreen
phone. with luck your app should then be able to find your GoogleTV
device and get it to do stuff.
How you talk to it and what stuff you can get it to do we will find
out when we finally get to see the SDK.
Hi,
'What' I mean is, *assuming* I can pack my integrated phone and tv app
into a single apk, which needs touchscreen for the phone, would the
app be excluded by the market for tv devices because they don't have
touchscreens ?
Yes until the tv sdk is released I won't know.
I am hoping to avoid
ah I see what you mean now. Interesting.
The situation you are referring to is already upon us: GoogleTV it
comes with its own controller that works well and I can also get a
separate Logitech app that runs on my Phone that works as a remote
controller, effectively replacing the GoogleTV
GoogleTV. My Logitech Revue has no touch screen - assuming the market
gets expanded to this device (yes please!) then I won't want to see
any apps where I need to touch the screen.
