Communicating between Android phone and Android TV -
does android have built-in communication apis lets native android app running on phone communicate native android app running on android tv? solution can think of android tv app creates socket , client app on phone connect socket.
edit: i'm looking solution no user interaction required setup communication. bluetooth requires user pair devices. nfc requires being close device.

you have same options pair of android devices:
direct ordinary sockets, if 2 devices happen on same wifi lan segment or otherwise directly reachable, , comfortable security ramifications of having open socket connection
wifi direct (where available)
bluetooth
indirect communication through internet-hosted facilities (e.g., fcm) or possibly locally-reachable server not on internet (e.g., webrtc)
nfc, though few android tv devices have nfc support
about thing can think of might more unique android tv offer infrared (ir) receiver, have no idea how apps can tap that, , few android devices have ir transmitter.
