Android TV support #5
Comments
Closing this, unlikely to happen anytime soon. |
I had no problems at all. I just uploaded the ActivityWatch APK to my Google Drive and clicked and installed the apk using File Commander. No external device or adb required. Works flawlessly. I am using the ematic Ultra-HD Android TV Box with Android 9. |
@Alwinator Woah, that's awesome! Thanks for doing the fieldwork and trying it out! I'll reopen this issue to see if there's anything else we can do to cater to Android TV usage. |
One major device I spent time on that's currently not tracked is my TV which is connected to a Mi Box. As far as I know, there are no time-tracking apps for Android TV, which is a real shame since I sometimes spend a decent amount of time by the TV in the evenings (I've even noticed that I'm avoiding the TV since it doesn't get tracked...).
Found this on SO which seems to indicate UsageStatsManager isn't available on Android TV. After thinking about it that kind of makes sense, as there's likely a lot of active screentime that isn't actually active time, or usage (let's say I let it sit on the home screen, or Spotify being playing/paused for a long time).
Still, I would like some type of tracking of it, just not sure how. Until then I'll have to track the play history in the apps themselves (aw-watcher-spotify, LastFM, YouTube history, Plex + Trakt).
