Amonzon Fire TV not reading input

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Amazon Fire TV extension and can't get any input to work.

The SDK manager won't update though I'm not sure why?

When I try to install anything on SDK manager I get 'Access denied' message.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Installed the Android TV tools.

Some more details...

Hi Fernando,

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm targeting Fire TV at 5.1 with API 22.

Everything is building fine until I put an Amazon Fire or Nexus TV object into my app.

If I replace the controller object/s with the OUYA object, my game builds with no problems, which is frustrating as it's supposed to work the same way.

I'm using the latest 64 bit JDK with x86 Andoid SDK Manager.

Does this part of the error give away any clues?

PS I've gone from 17 errors to 2 errors so I guess there's still hope!

I can't see amazon fire tv sdk on android manager....

Please login to see this attachment.

How do I find the runtime version?

I'm really excited about creating a Fire TV game, I just wish it would build

Thanks

Thanks, Fernando.

I ended up finding the pages you mention since my last post but it will be handy for others to see.

OUYA made publishing really easy, I guess I was expecting Amazon to be the same.

So now I've downloaded Android Studio and installed JAVA 1.8 JDK (the latest one).

When I finish work I'll install those Amazon Fire SDKs and set my builds to API 22 (Minimum 5.1, Target 5.1).

Fingers crossed!

Just one last thing, I extracted the Game Controller extension in downloads; is there somewhere specific I should place it?

For example, in the Clickteam program files?

Sorry for my lack of understanding and thanks very much for your help.

I'll share a tutorial if I can get it working, Sparckman's done some really helpful videos in the past.

Still nothing.

Installed the Amazon SDKs and all other files mentioned on the link, tried on another computer, keep getting 2 errors.

Installed and using API 22.

Every app that doesn't use the game controller extension works fine.

Looks like it's caused by "[javac] required: int,KeyEvent
[javac] found: GameController,int,int,KeyEvent
[javac] reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length".

Also, what does this mean? "As of Fire OS 5, the previously available Fire TV SDK add-on is deprecated" - I keep getting comments about deprecation in the error report.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again.

Hi, I've tried with the latest official update and the beta. It's a bit of a mystery.

Thanks for reminding me, redpanda! I pretty much gave up on making Android games. I just tried again since reading your message and it turns out the latest Fusion update has fixed the input problem, for Android TV at least. I don't have my Fire TV anymore. So yeah, I'm very happy with this update, I can finally port games to my Forge, and other Android devices! And not a month too soon considering Razer are stopping OUYA publishing. Are you going to make stuff for Android TV?

Hi, I bought a fire tv stick to test again after the clickteam update, still nothing. Installed Amazon sdks and using latest open.gl version. Any other suggestions? By the way, does the fire tv object support the remote? I'll be happy once I get my apps approved by either Razer or Amazon.

Thanks, Fernando!
I'm free tonight (and most evenings) from 6:30pm.
