Hi, I don’t know if your issue is resolved or not.

You can make your app visible in the T.V. Launcher (Google) by adding the following code in your ‘AndroidManifest.xml’ file (only do this if you know about decompiling apk files and signing them)

Through this code you are defining a Activity
called as CATEGORY_LEANBACK_LAUNCHER
through which the Launcher will get to know that the app is for T.V.

<application
  android:banner="@drawable/banner" >
  ...
  <activity
    android:name="com.example.android.MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >

    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
  </activity>

  <activity
    android:name="com.example.android.TvActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.Leanback">

    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>

  </activity>
</application>

Add this code to your app Manifest . . .
