Java Question [solved] Is it possible to get Values from the Manifest in a Library?

Initialize the Cast Context
The framework has a global singleton object, the CastContext, which coordinates all the framework's interactions.

Your app must implement the OptionsProvider interface to supply options needed to initialize the CastContext singleton. OptionsProvider provides an instance of CastOptions which contains options that affect the behavior of the framework. The most important of these is the receiver application ID, which is used to filter discovery results and to launch the receiver app when a cast session is started.

public class CastOptionsProvider implements OptionsProvider {
    @Override
    public CastOptions getCastOptions(Context context) {
        CastOptions castOptions = new CastOptions.Builder()
            .setReceiverApplicationId(context.getString(R.string.app_id))
            .build();
        return castOptions;
    }
    @Override
    public List<SessionProvider> getAdditionalSessionProviders(Context context) {
        return null;
    }
}

In this case the CastOptionsProvider is getting the app_id from a Value in R file.

I don´t want to use Extra Resources and i am trying to get the Value which is added to the Manifest with CreateResource.

How would i reference(get) such a Value from the Manifest to use it inside the CastOptionsProvider? Means what is the code needed?

Any help/tips appreciated ;-)

PD: I started doing a wrap for it in 2017. I now started again to fix it (was not working at all in the past)
