CastRemoteDisplayLocalService

public abstract class CastRemoteDisplayLocalService extends Service

This class is deprecated.
The Remote Display feature is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

The recommended API for starting and managing a Cast Remote Display session. It simplifies the creation of a local foreground service to render a CastPresentation.

The foreground service allows the lifecycle of the Activity display to be decoupled from from the lifecycle of the CastPresentation, minimizing complexity on the application code. This will allow an app to continue rendering onto the Remote Display while, for example, the activity is in background. The service runs on the main thread of the application.

Your MyCastRemoteDisplayLocalService should extend CastRemoteDisplayLocalService and should be declared in the manifest as follows:

 <service android:name=".MyCastRemoteDisplayLocalService" android:exported="false" />
 

This class should be inherited to create the CastPresentation on the onCreatePresentation(Display) call. This guarantees that the Presentation lifecycle is associated with the Service. There will be a Notification associated with the service To create the service call startService(Context, Class , String, CastDevice, CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.NotificationSettings, CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.Callbacks) and to terminate the service call stopService(). Application developers can provide their own Notification.

Public Methods

public static CastRemoteDisplayLocalService getInstance ()

The singleton instance of the CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.

Returns

public IBinder onBind (Intent intent)

public void onCreate ()

public abstract void onCreatePresentation (Display display)

The API that will be called when the Cast Remote Display has been created. The implementation of the service that extends CastRemoteDisplayLocalService must implement this API to create a CastPresentation instance.

Parameters
display The Cast Remote Display.

public abstract void onDismissPresentation ()

The API that will be called when the Cast Remote Display should be dismissed because the Cast Remote Display session is ending. The implementation of the service that extends CastRemoteDisplayLocalService must implement this API to dismiss the CastPresentation instance.

public int onStartCommand (Intent intent, int flags, int startId)

public static void startService (Context activityContext, Class<? extends CastRemoteDisplayLocalService> serviceClass, String applicationId, CastDevice device, CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.NotificationSettings notificationSettings, CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.Callbacks callbacks)

Starts the CastRemoteDisplayLocalService instance and initiates the Remote Display session. If a session is already being started it will be ignored.

Parameters
activityContext The context of the activity that is starting the service. The cast presentation will create its own Context based on this Context and information from the Cast Remote Display. Must not be null.
serviceClass The class of the service that should be started. The service should be declared in the manifest (see CastRemoteDisplayLocalService). Must not be null.
applicationId The Remote Display application ID provided in the Cast developer portal. Must not be null.
device The device that will host the Cast Remote Display session. Must not be null.
notificationSettings The notificationSettings. It must at least contain a custom Notification or a notification PendingIntent. Must not be null.
callbacks The Cast Remote Display session listener. Must not be null.

public static void startServiceWithOptions (Context activityContext, Class<? extends CastRemoteDisplayLocalService> serviceClass, String applicationId, CastDevice device, CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.Options options, CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.NotificationSettings notificationSettings, CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.Callbacks callbacks)

Starts the CastRemoteDisplayLocalService instance and initiates the Remote Display session. If a session is already being started it will be ignored.

Parameters
activityContext The context of the activity that is starting the service. The cast presentation will create its own Context based on this Context and information from the Cast Remote Display. Must not be null.
serviceClass The class of the service that should be started. The service should be declared in the manifest (see CastRemoteDisplayLocalService). Must not be null.
applicationId The Remote Display application ID provided in the Cast developer portal. Must not be null.
device The device that will host the Cast Remote Display session. Must not be null.
options Options for the session. Must not be null.
notificationSettings The notificationSettings. It must at least contain a custom Notification or a notification PendingIntent. Must not be null.
callbacks The Cast Remote Display session listener. Must not be null.

public static void stopService ()

Stops the CastRemoteDisplayLocalService instance and terminates the Remote Display session.

public void updateNotificationSettings (CastRemoteDisplayLocalService.NotificationSettings notificationSettings)

This method is deprecated.
The Remote Display feature is deprecated. Calling this method will do nothing for devices running Android S or above. You need to build your own notification settings for those devices.

Modifies the current notification settings. Settings should be consistent with the type of notification model used (default or custom). For example you can replace the existing custom notification, or you can set a new PendingIntent, title or text for the default notification.

Parameters
notificationSettings The new notification settings.

Protected Methods

protected Display getCastRemoteDisplay ()

Returns the Display object available for the Remote Display session, otherwise null (if the Cast Remote Display session has not started).

protected static void setDebugEnabled ()

Enables debug logs. This method is meant for development purposes only.
