when it runs on my tv(android 9) there is no button on the upper-right corner, it's all blank. while it works well with my tvbox (android 4.4) 2022

The buttonsin upper-right corner are called ActionBar. That is generally not present on Android TV. As far as I understand the main reason for that design decision by Google is that most TV devices don't have a touch screen or pointing device but are controlled with a d-pad.

To support Android TV this app has a own launcher Activity which adds buttons to start/stop server and to open preferences in the dark area above texts (and horizontally centered).

It seems in your case the Activity intended for mobile devices is used.

Is there any chance I can slove this problem? Or can I offer some help

wolpi commented 2 years ago

You could try to find different ways to open the app. Hopefully Android would use proper Activity then.

@wolpi Thank you! I had the same issue with my android TV, and I used X-plore (com.lonelycatgames.Xplore) file manager to list out activities available for org.promftpd. And I was able to launch org.primftpd.ui.LeanbackActivity from there and it worked! image
