+page.title=UI Overview for TV
+page.tags="design"
+@jd:body
+
+<p>The Android TV system user interface provides the launch pad for your app's big screen
+ experience. It's important to understand how your app is presented in the main user interface and
+ how your app can help users get to the content they want quickly, including contributing content
+ suggestions to the recommendations row.</p>
+
+<p>This section provides quick overview of the Android TV user interface.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Home Screen</h2>
+
+<p>The Home Screen is the start of a TV user's experience, providing search, content
+ recommendations, access to apps and settings. The Home Screen provides a rich and cinematic
+ overview of apps and content.</p>

+
+
+<h2>Search</h2>
+
+<p>By bringing the power of Google search to the big screen, Android TV makes new, dynamic
+ connections between content - a favorite movie may connect to the discovery of a new music artist,
+ planning trip to Paris might surface new YouTube content and photos.</p>

+
+
+<h2>Recommendations</h2>
+
+<p>The recommendation row on Android TV is a central feature of the Home Screen that allows
+ users quick access to dynamic and relevant content for their media consumption activities. The
+ stream is optimized for quick browsing of personalized content and activity resumption (on the
+ device and across devices), while also providing a way for users to act on meaningful new content.</p>

+
+<p>
+ The recommendations are based on the user’s recent and frequent usage behaviors, as well as
+ expressed content preferences. They are presented as cards that represent a system or app action,
+ notification, activity, or piece of actionable media. Your app can provide suggestions for the
+ recommendations row to help get your content noticed. To learn more, see
+ <a href="{@docRoot}preview/tv/build-ui/recommendations.html">Recommendations</a>.
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Apps and Games</h2>
+
+<p>Apps and Games rows both have special areas on the Home Screen. Within these respective
+ areas, Apps and Games titles are reordered to reflect the user’s recent usage.</p>

+
+
+<h2>Settings</h2>
+
+<p>Access to Settings is found at the bottom of the Home Screen. From here, the user can access
+ Android and device-specific settings. Please see the "Settings" section for more detailed
+ information.</p>
