Class SambaCast

java.lang.Object

com.sambatech.player.cast.SambaCast

public final class SambaCast
extends java.lang.Object

Manages Chromecast integration. It must have a 1-to-1 relationship with activities to avoid memory leakage. It could not be a Singleton, for example, static objects cannot hold Context references (like widgets, resources, etc.), they must die together with their activity.

There are some steps to integrate:

1. Initialize inside "onCreate" state
2. Notify "onResume" state
3. Notify "onPause" state
4. Pass the instance to the SambaPlayer
