android tv. How to get DEVICE_ADMIN rights to lock a device?
Good afternoon.
There is a small timer application that sends the device to sleep / blocks after the time has elapsed.
On the Pixel phone emulator, everything works ok. At startup, administrator rights are requested, etc.
But on the Android TV emulator, as well as on the live set-top box itself, nothing is requested. You can once the screen is white and that's it. The application essentially starts and crashes.
Perhaps on Android TV rights are issued somehow differently?
Thanks in advance.
I am attaching the manifest from the project. But if you need anything else, I'll provide it.
