Application switching using airmouse on Android 4.4

by rlaxton

I have a nice Amlogic S812 Android 4.4 running TV Box with an airmouse/wireless keyboard as the main remote control. I mainly run Kodi and Netflix at the moment.

Anyway, Kodi takes a while to start and stop because it is attached to a very large library on my NAS so I figure that the best thing to do would be to switch between apps rather than stopping Kodi and running Netflix. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to do this. The remote has a single key that is labelled with the icons for back and home. This ebay listing is similar to what I have, although mine has a keyboard on the back of the remote.

I am pretty new to Android so appreciate any advice.

This is for Android TV, not Android running on your TV.

Try tab+alt on the wireless keyboard. As the other comment says your device is not an official Android TV box. The official boxes are the nexus player, the Razer forge, the upcoming nvidia shield and some android TV television sets (Sony)
