ExpandedController

The expanded controller is a full screen view which offers full control of the remote media playback. This view should allow a casting app to manage every manageable aspect of a cast session, with the exception of receiver volume control and session lifecycle (connect/stop casting). It also provides all the status information about the media session (artwork, title, subtitle, and so forth).

Setup

To use the default expanded controller:

Expo

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "react-native-google-cast",
        {
          // ...
          "expandedController": true
        }
      ]
    ]
  }
}

iOS

In AppDelegate's application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method add

Objective-C

Swift

[GCKCastContext sharedInstance].useDefaultExpandedMediaControls = true;

GCKCastContext.sharedInstance().useDefaultExpandedMediaControls = true

Android

In AndroidManifest.xml add

<activity android:name="com.reactnative.googlecast.RNGCExpandedControllerActivity" />

Usage

Then, to show the expanded controller, call

GoogleCast.showExpandedControls()

The expanded controller will also be shown automatically when the user taps the mini controller.
