Controllers Overview

The Amazon Fire TV platform supports user input from the Amazon Fire TV Remote, the Fire TV Voice Remote, the Fire game controller, and other game controllers that support the Bluetooth HID gamepad profile. All controllers must be paired with the device to be used.

Buttons

Most Amazon Fire TV remote controls have these buttons. Some Fire TV remotes do not include the microphone (voice search) button.

Capturing Input

All Amazon Fire TV remote controls generate KeyEvent events for button presses, as any Android input device does. You can handle controller button input with standard Android event listener interfaces and callbacks ( onClick (), onFocusChange (), and so on).
