+Google Cast Android API
+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.
+ +Explore the Google Cast Android API reference or visit developers.google.com/cast + for more information about how to design and build your app to support Google Cast.
+ +Key Developer Features
+ +Add your own style to a pre-built receiver app
+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
Build an entirely custom receiver app
+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
Add playback controls to your app
+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.
+
Create a Sender App
Getting Started
+1. Get the Google Play services SDK
+ +The Google Cast Android APIs are part of the Google Play services platform.
+To get started, set up + the Google Play services SDK on your development machine and be sure your test device has + Google Play services 4.2 (or higher) installed.
+ +2. Register your app
+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 + Registration guide.
+ +3. Design the Android app UI
+To provide the perfect user experience when casting your content to TVs, be sure your + app follows all the recommendations in the Design Checklist.
+ +4. Start developing
+Read the Developer's Guide + to learn how to implement the receiver app and how to send it commands from your Android app. +
+ +For quick access while developing your Android app, the + Google Cast + Android API reference is available here on developer.android.com.
+ +- The Google Drive Android API is currently in developer - preview. Applications compiled using this version of the API will - continue to operate on devices using future versions of Google Play services; - however, changes to the API are expected in future releases. -
