TV Apps- "Add a Parameter" option in the development kit?

[sramego]

What does the Parameter Default Value indicate on the final app? Is there a way to recieve the information keyed in by the user and display an image based on the feedback?



So far I am only able to add parameters but nothing more. How can it be made interactive?


Thanks!

Are you talking about the WDK (Widget Development Kit)?

Using the hosted method of customized Apps, the "Parameter Default Value" is a value you want to give each parameter as a default.

Each parameter can be accessed by the enduser unless it is marked 'Hidden' by selecting Options when the App is displayed on the television. The parameters can also be set via the website.

The Parameter Default Value bugs me as it is mandatory to enter even if the parameter is not set as mandatory. Just use some value that your App can check if the user changed it. For my altzipcode parameters, I just use 00000. When my Apps see that value, I know not to use it.
