SessionProvider

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.

Protected Constructors

protected SessionProvider (Context applicationContext, String category)

Constructs a SessionProvider with a category string. The category uniquely identifies a Session created by this provider.

Parameters

applicationContext	The application Context of the calling app.
category	The category string used to create `Session`.

Public Methods

public abstract Session createSession (String sessionId)

Constructs a new Session. This method is called by the SDK to create a new session.

public final String getCategory ()

Returns the category string for this SessionProvider.

public final Context getContext ()

Returns the application Context used to construct this instance.

public abstract boolean isSessionRecoverable ()

Returns true if a previously constructed session can be resumed. Subclasses should check any persisted information about the previous session, such as a session ID, and return true only if it is possible to resume that session. This method is called by the SDK when it tries to resume a previously saved session.
