I have tried a couple of different air mouses with Android TV (Sheild and Mi Box) and while they work in the main UI, I cannot get a "click" to happen in Netflix.
Nothing happens when I move the cursor over and click when the cursor is in the profile I want to choose. If I switch off the mouse, the remote works as normal.
Seems like Netflix on Android TV doesn't support touch/mouse - is that right?
FWIW, I don't have any trouble using a wireless keyboard with a touchpad anywhere in my Sony ATV (including in Netflix) or a Harmony Companion remote. Sounds like it's your air mice doing something Netflix doesn't like.
KEYCODE_ENTER vs KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER
Probably this is happening because of these two.
I'm not 100% sure, but left click is probably sending the Enter keycode, instead of Dpad_center. Netflix might be only reacting to Center.
Most of the time (99%) they are interchangeable, but for example Google fucking love to use only Center (which is lazy and dumb). So if you have a 3rd party remote that sends Enter instead of Center, you can't type with GBoard on your TV. Same thing happens when you cast something to your TV with Youtube, you can't pause the casting on the tv with your remote.
Nope, it doesn't respond to mouse click. It does respond to arrow keys and enter key on keyboard.
