Google Cast

A sample demonstrating how to enable Chromecast with OptiView Player (formerly THEOplayer), allowing users to cast video playback to nearby Cast devices.

PlayerActivity sets up Compose with DefaultUI and configures Chromecast integration with a cast strategy. CastOptionsProvider configures the Cast framework with the receiver app ID and notification options. Feel free to replace the app ID on CastOptionsProvider to point the player to your CAF receiver.

Quick Start

  1. Open this repository in Android Studio.
  2. Select the google-cast run configuration.
  3. Build and run on a device or emulator.

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        maven { url = uri("https://maven.theoplayer.com/releases") }
    }
}

Dependencies are managed through a version catalog and declared in the module-level build.gradle.kts:
