Page Summary
-
SessionProvider is an abstract base class for constructing sessions, used by the SDK to create CastSession internally.
-
To support other types of Session, developers should subclass SessionProvider.
-
Subclasses must implement the abstract methods createSession(String) and isSessionRecoverable().
-
All methods of SessionProvider must be called from the main thread.
An abstract base class for performing session construction. The SDK uses a subclass of SessionProvider
to construct CastSession
internally. If your app wants to support other types of Session
then you should subclass this class. Subclasses must implement createSession(String)
and isSessionRecoverable()
, which will be called by the Cast SDK during the lifecycle
of the session. All methods must be called from the main thread.
