I went through this question and wanted to know if an app that I developed for cellphones or tablets would be available to Market users with a Google TV? If yes, how can I can optimize the app for the xlarge TV screen size?

Can the same Android App be used for mobile phones, tablets and Google TV?

Not yet. Although the SDK is out.

Therefore you can't create an AVD for google TV in the eclipse IDE on Windows or Mac.

You can for linux.

As of December 2011

EDIT

Sorry I work on a Mac and a PC lol.

Reading now that you can create a Google TV AVD:

https://developers.google.com/tv/android/docs/gtv_emulator

but only with Linux

System Requirements

Linux OS with KVM. Windows and Mac OS X are not currently supported. Google TV emulation on a Linux workstation without KVM is also not supported.

KVM requires KVM support in the OS and Intel virtualization support in BIOS. To learn more about KVM, please read the section "Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)".

Android SDK system requirements for Google TV application development, as documented in the topic Setting Up a Development Environment.

The Google TV add-on. To learn about the add-on, please read the topic Google TV Add-On.

    You can create an AVD, but I believe it's limited to Linux at the moment. At least I have the target option and can launch an AVD successfully. –  Dec 16 '11 at 17:19

    The Android Market has been available for the Sony Google TV devices for a month, and for the Logitech Revue for about a week. You can most certainly create an AVD for Google TV in Eclipse, if you have the Google TV SDK installed -- that has been possible for about six weeks. – CommonsWare Dec 16 '11 at 19:03
  • Sorry yeah I read the documentation about the two platforms I work on, didn't actually think Linux would sneak it in. I was wrong! Updated answer. – Blundell Dec 16 '11 at 19:42
