The operating system update for smart TVs will bring improved performance and enhanced functionality.
The list of changes can be found in the official blog. The main of them was the emergence of new APIs for large screens - this will simplify the creation and optimization of the interface of various software. In addition, through the AudioManager API, developers will be able to “foresee” the support of various audio formats by an audio device and select the optimal one without starting playback. Users will also be able to change the default resolution and refresh rate for supported HDMI sources.
Other changes include support for various keyboard layouts in the InputDevice API. Game creators will be able to reference keys by their physical location to support physical keyboard layouts. The OS privacy settings menu items will display the state of the hardware mute switches. Also, the developers have updated the controls for accessing the voice assistant to the microphone located in the remote control.
The OS update can be tested in the ADT-3 developer kit and the Android TV emulator. Software tests can be run on both Google TV and the standard Android TV interface. When the final version of Android TV 13 will be released, and which smart TVs will support it, will be announced later.
