PreviewChannel
open class PreviewChannel
Since API 26, all TV apps may create preview channels and publish them to the home screen. We call these App Channels (as distinct from the Live Channels row on the home screen). To help you create App Channels, the support library provides a number of classes prefixed by the word Preview-. This is a convenience class for mapping your app's content into a TvProvider Channel for publication. Use the provided Builder for creating your preview channel object. Once you create a preview channel, you can use PreviewChannelHelper to publish it and add programs to it.

This builder makes it easy to create a PreviewChannel object by allowing you to chain setters.

Public methods
fromCursor
open static fun fromCursor(cursor: Cursor!): PreviewChannel!
Used by PreviewChannelHelper to transduce a TvProvider channel row into a PreviewChannel Java object. You never need to use this method unless you want to convert database rows to PreviewChannel objects yourself.
This method assumes the cursor was obtained using
.PreviewChannel.Columns#PROJECTION. This way, all indices are known beforehand.
| Parameters |

Cursor!: a cursor row from the TvProvider |
| Return |
| PreviewChannel!: a PreviewChannel whose values come from the cursor row |

open fun getAppLinkIntent(): Intent!
getAppLinkIntentUri

getLogo
@WorkerThread open fun getLogo(context: Context!): Bitmap!
