and
- Add the following to your main module
Add the following code to your Manifest
Note that the linecan be used to define YOUR App-ID though it is not needed. If the String is an Empty string then the default Receiverapp will do the Job.
Update Jan 2020:
It is mandatory to use your own app_id which must be registered at the Google Cast Developer console.
Before you begin
There is a one-time, non-refundable $5 registration fee charged for a Google Cast Developer account. Google charge this fee to encourage higher quality applications utilizing Google Cast.
You can see the Example on how to use everything.
In short you can say that you can start Playing Videos when you successfully connected to the Cast device and a Session is opened.
