For those who have an Android TV box or more specifically a Xiaomi TV. It is interesting to know how to install .APK on Android TV. If you want to install a new application that does not appear in your application, it is not that interesting but necessary.
1. Install the file manager
By default, Android TV does not include a file manager, so install one. Google Play provides at least 3, and we chose the classic ES Explorer. Navigating on Android TV is not easy, but all buttons can be accessed via the remote control. There is also AnExplorer, which is more convenient, but has fewer features.
2. Enable installation of third-party applications
By default, Android TV cannot install third-party Android applications (.APK)
for security reasons. So you need to go to:
Settings> Security and restrictions, override the ban. Under Unknown sources, select On.
Restore APK
You can download the .APK from the publisher’s official website or sometimes directly from the Play Store. The best method has been described in the FrAndroid forum, provided there is a working computer.
Start installing .APK
To restore your .APK, there are several ways to proceed. The first method is to connect a USB key or microSD card to your Android TV device. We prefer to use the « cloud » function of ES Explorer with Google Drive. Once the connection is active, file transfer is easier.
Uninstall an application on Android TV
To uninstall an application is very simple: stay on the application icon on the Android TV desktop and then move the application to the trash.
Another way is to go into settings and select the problem app in the app.
