@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 users 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 users 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>
