| <p>The Android TV platform user interface provides the launch pad for your app's big screen |
| experience. It's important to understand how your app is presented in the main user interface and |
| how your app can help users get to the content they want quickly.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Home Screen</h2> |
| |
| <p>The Home Screen is the start of the user experience, providing search, content |
| recommendations, and access to apps and settings. This screen provides a rich and cinematic |
| overview of apps and content.</p> |

| |
| |
| <h2>Search</h2> |
| |
| <p>By bringing the power of Google search to the big screen, Android TV makes new, dynamic |
| connections between content. A favorite movie may lead to the discovery of a new music artist, |
| planning a trip to Paris might surface new YouTube content and photos.</p> |

| |
| <p>To learn more about searching within your app, see |
| <a href="{@docRoot}preview/tv/ui/in-app-search.html">Searching in TV Apps</a>. |
| |
| <h2>Recommendations</h2> |
| |
| <p>The recommendations row on Android TV is a central feature of the Home Screen that allows |
| users quick access to dynamic and relevant content for their media-consumption activities. The |
| row is optimized for quick browsing of personalized content and activity resumption (on the |
| device and across devices), while also providing a way for users to act on meaningful new |
| content.</p> |
| |

| |
| <p> |
| Recommendations are based on the user’s recent and frequent usage behaviors, as well as |
| expressed content preferences. They appear as cards that represent a system or app action, |
| notification, activity, or piece of actionable media. Your app can provide suggestions for the |
| recommendations row to help get your content noticed. To learn more, see |
| <a href="{@docRoot}preview/tv/ui/recommendations.html">Recommendations</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Apps and Games</h2> |
| |
| <p>Apps and Games rows both have special areas on the Home Screen. Within their respective |
| areas, Apps and Games titles are ordered to reflect the user’s recent usage.</p> |

| |
| <h2>Settings</h2> |
| |
| <p>Access to Settings is found at the bottom of the Home Screen. From here, the user can access |
| Android and device-specific settings. |
