Add Items in BrowseFragment Header in Android TV

Question

I have used Google sample project of android tv leanback library as a reference.

So, my question is how to add items (i.e. Button, ImageView, TextView) along with search button in BrowseFragment Header in Android TV.

I can able to hide search button using commenting below code, but I can not able to add items along with search button.

    setOnSearchClickedListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), SearchActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

Answer 1

I am not sure but I think, You need to Customize Browse Fragment. You can extend Browse Fragment in a java class and then try to customize it or try to make it invisible. You can Customize Row Fragment and Header Fragment and create a custom Frame layout.

activity_main.xml

   <android.support.v17.leanback.widget.SearchOrbView
        android:id="@+id/custom_search_orb"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="27dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="56dp"
        android:layout_gravity="top|left"
       android:visibility="gone"/>

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="hello"/>

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/header_container"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="top|left" />

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/rows_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="top|left"
        android:layout_marginLeft="300dp" />
