Is there an intent to replicate pressing PlayTo

We are looking for an Android intent that we can use to trigger the PlayTo menu to appear. This way we can have the menu appear by sending the intent (using tasker) instead of having to navigate through the notification bar at the top of the screen.

We are doing this on an Asus Zenpad 10. Essentially we are looking for the simplest way of displaying the miracast devices available - the PlayTo feature does this.

Is there anyway of doing this?

Thanks

  • No, that is by Google's design not possible. User has to invoke that menu self.

    You didn't specify what is the target device you'll be playing to. If it is a Chromecast, then you could try one of those Tasker plugins:

    maybe they'll also work in your case, but that's a long shot
