The two UI Components that are native but need to be displayed as components in the Xamarin.Forms shared app code are: First, let’s setup the shared UI components, that appear on both the native players as well as the shared views in the Xamarin.Forms project. For session management, the based on the Cast Connection state, the system uses the Video Player session management and the Cast Session Management to control app behavior and state of the UI components.Įach of these events are tied to the State of the Video Player and Chromecast. Each of these controls are a part of the framework with default styling and can be customized as needed. The UI components are the Cast button, the Mini Player and the Expanded Player. Integrating the Cast into the app involves adding three main UI components and adding Session Management between the video player and Cast Framework.
The Chromecast framework is developed to work with the Native Video Players or with any other third-party Video Player Control. In this post, we’ll see two different ways to implement support into a Xamarin.Forms app. Only caveat being, these frameworks are native to each platform, there is no cross platform Xamarin.Forms implementation for it yet. The Google Chromecast Framework is provided to us as nugets maintained by the Xamarin team, there is no need to create any Binding project for it. Once the steps are completed, make a note of the Application ID, this is all we need to setup the Xamarin app to connect with the receiver. If you choose not to publish the receiver application, be sure to follow the guide to setup a device for development so you can debug the receiver application. To create and setup the default Media Receiver, the steps are very clearly explained in the Google Cast Guide. For more details on customizing the Receiver itself, you can check the Google Documentation. In this post, the sample is built like the Google Cast Samples, using the default Media Receiver with the default video support and styling. A Receiver Application: this is what hosts the video on the Chromecast Device.
A Sender Application: in this post, it will be our Xamarin App.There are 2 main components for a Cast App: Before we get started, there are a few initial steps to be taken.

If the video/audio browsing app is built using Xamarin.Forms, this post walks you through how to add the support for video Chromecast through 2 ways, using a Xamarin.Forms Page Renderer or via a embedded native page. If you are creating a video or even audio app, you can add Chromecast Support for it easily.
