Remove SearchOrbView Android TV

Question

How can I remove the searchOrbView in the BrowseFragment of Android TV?

I see a way to set the colors (setSearchAffordanceColors), but no way to actually remove the SearchOrbView

Since the TitleView is a private member of BrowseFragment (and TitleView is the way to get to the SearchOrbView), I see no way of actually removing the SearchOrbView

Answer 1

According to the official documentation, calling setOnSearchClickedListener() causes the search orb to be displayed in the title view.

Removing the method invocation will make the orb disappear.

Answer 2

For those who doesnt read comments

you can simply achieve that defining a new style with Theme.Leanback.VerticalGrid as parent and setting item browseRowsMarginTop to any dp value you need. Then set this theme for the Activity implementing the vertical grid view. – fasteque

It helped me. style.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.Leanback"></style>
<style name="NoTitleTheme" parent="@style/Theme.Leanback">
    <item name="browseRowsMarginTop">5dp</item>
</style>
</resources>

AndroidManifest.xml ....

<activity
    android:name=".stackedadprogram.StackedAdProgramActivity"
    android:exported="true"
    android:parentActivityName=".launcher.ProgramDetailActivity"
    android:theme="@style/NoTitleTheme" />
....
