This is a tricky one and I am guessing it won't be answered as I am not sure its possible. I am working on an application that the customer would like screen cast on to a large TV, with effectively "one click" in a menu on an android device (to a ChromeCast).
Scenario is ChromeCast in TV and on wifi (but not connected to android device). Android application is run by user. User hits "one click" button (which is more like two click), one to start cast device lookup, second selects device. Mirroring occurs
That's pretty much it. Its the same feature as the ChromeCast App "Screen Cast" functionality...to be honest we just want to turn this on from our app, instead of having to load the ChromeCast App.
Thanks.
There is currently no API to turn mirroring on from within an app. Note that on devices such as N5, the mirroring option is also offered from the notification shade so no need to bring up the chromecast app.
