Answer 1

In addition to @ULazdins's answer, you can check this article about Debugging on an Android TV. Before you begin building apps for TV, you must know first the prerequisites:

• Update your SDK tools to version 24.0.0 or higher
  The updated SDK tools enable you to build and test apps for TV.

• Update your SDK with Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher
  The updated platform version provides new APIs for TV apps.

• Create or update your app project
  In order to access new APIs for TV devices, you must create a project or modify an existing project that targets Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher.

Hope this helps!
