How to disable Android TV Support in my app? Manifest complaining about missing LEANBACK_LAUNCHER

I've been searching for a way to disable Android TV Support from the manifest. I know our app is incompatible and I've read that even when you aim at supporting Android TV, apps turn out unsupported anyways.



However, I have not found a way to stop the Manifest from asking for a INTENTBACK_LAUNCHER. I don't want to define one because I know that our app is not compatible with TV.



These are the warnings that I get right now:




Expecting uses-feature android:name="android.software.leanback" android:required="false" tag.



Expecting an activity to have android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER intent filter.



Hardware feature android.hardware.touchscreen not explicitly marked as optional




So when I try to supply the expected tags, even if I say the following:




uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen" android:required="true"




It still sends a warning that it might not be supported by all TVs, which is nothing else than a warning but really annoying because I deliberately don't want to support Android TV. And even after I still get the LEANBACK_LAUNCHER intent filter warning as well.



Wouldn't requiring a touchscreen rid me of the manifest asking for a LEANBACK_LAUNCHER? I guess some TVs have touchscreens?



Anybody knows how to explicitly disable Android TV Support?



Thank you,

  • No. No banner attribute in application element, unfortunately.

You can disable the lint checks by adding the tools:ignore attribute to your manifest as follows:



<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.example.sampleapp"
tools:ignore="ImpliedTouchscreenHardware,MissingLeanbackLauncher,MissingLeanbackSupport">
