<p itemprop="description">Google Cast is a technology that enables multi-screen experiences, which
|
|
allows users to send content from mobile devices and personal computers to their TVs.
|
|
You can use the Google Cast Android API
|
|
to add casting functionality to your Android app so users can view your app content on their
|
|
big screens.</p>

<h3 style="clear:left">Key Developer Features</h3>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Add your own style to a pre-built receiver app</h4>
|
|
<p>Adding support for Google Cast requires that you provide a companion app on the
|
|
Google Cast device, known as the receiver app. If your app streams audio or video content
|
|
using one of several supported media types, then you can create a receiver app with your
|
|
own style and branding by creating nothing more than a CSS file.
|
|

|
|
>Create a Styled Media Receiver</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Build an entirely custom receiver app</h4>
|
|
<p>If the Styled Media Receiver does not provide the UI components required for your
|
|
receiver app or does not support the media types your app requires, you can build your
|
|
own receiver app as a web page using the JavaScript Receiver API.

|
>Create a Custom Receiver</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Add playback controls to your app</h4>
|
|
<p>To allow users to control playback on the receiver app, you can add a
|
|
controller interface to your app on Android, iOS, and Chrome. The client app on these devices
|
|
is known as the sender app and can perform a variety of actions using the Google Cast APIs
|
|
such as start and pause playback and control the volume on the Google Cast device.

<h3 style="clear:left">Getting Started</h3>
|
|
<h4>1. Get the Google Play services SDK</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Google Cast Android APIs are part of the Google Play services platform.</p>
|
|
<p>To get started, <a href="{@docRoot}google/play-services/setup.html">set up
|
|
the Google Play services SDK</a> on your development machine and be sure your test device has
|
|
Google Play services 4.2 (or higher) installed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>2. Register your app</h4>
|
|
<p>Before you can develop and test apps on your own Google Cast device,
|
|
you need to acquire an app ID for your API calls and register your Google Cast device
|
|
(such as a Chromecast) as a development device. For details, read the
|
|
<a href="http://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration"
|
|
class="external-link">Registration</a> guide.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>3. Design the Android app UI</h4>
|
|
<p>To provide the perfect user experience when casting your content to TVs, be sure your
|
|
app follows all the recommendations in the <a class="external-link"
|
|
href="https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/design_checklist"
|
|
>Design Checklist</a>.</p>
|
|
|

|
|
<p>Read the <a class="external-link"
|
|
href="https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/developers">Developer's Guide</a>
|
|
to learn how to implement the receiver app and how to send it commands from your Android app.
