Samsung TV

Hosanna supports Samsung TV through a web-based TV target. The app uses the shared Hosanna view, input, style, and state model while the Samsung package handles device runtime integration and store delivery.

Development Flow​

  1. Develop and debug the shared experience in Web.
  2. Build the Samsung TV package from the web target.
  3. Validate keyboard, remote, pointer, and TV-specific browser behavior.
  4. Test startup, playback, networking, storage, and lifecycle events on Samsung TV hardware.
  5. Package for the Samsung release workflow.

Runtime Notes​

  • Samsung remote input should be normalized into HsInputEvent before it reaches views.
  • Use the shared focus manager, nextFocusMap(...), and focused view onInputEvent(event) handlers.
  • Browser differences should be isolated in the Samsung platform adapter or packaging layer.
  • Keep fragments, callbacks, and styles in AppConfig so Samsung stays aligned with other targets.

Release Checklist​

  • Validate TV browser capabilities, media formats, network policy, and storage behavior.
  • Confirm app launch, remote navigation, focus restoration, and text input.
  • Test on real Samsung TV hardware, not only desktop browser simulation.
  • Keep Samsung-only workarounds out of shared view code where possible.
