I didn't know about that... hrm. Well, I've already hammered out a working version, and I'm pretty sure apps packaged for Ouya require some things added to the Android manifest, so I think I'll just roll with what I have.
Speaking of which, here it is: XBMCForFireTV XBMC On Fire
Please be kind in your criticism, as it's my first Android app. It's not pretty, but it seems to work for the most part. The only thing that I haven't figured out yet is why it's not saving your preference and automatically launching your chosen default if you have more than one version of XBMC installed. Once I get that working, I'll submit it to the Android App Store. Any input from anyone with some experience in Android development as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, I'm currently using elmerohueso's splash image as the app icon. I haven't yet properly credited him for the art, but I'll do that before submitting the app.
EDIT: I changed the name of the project to be less device-specific and to avoid using any Amazon trademarks, so I've updated the link.
