Import Strategy #

This package provides flexible import options to optimize your app's performance:

🎯 Modular Imports (Recommended) #

Instead of importing everything, you can now import only what you need:

Import	What it includes	When to use
`flutter_chrome_cast.dart`	Everything	Getting started, prototyping
`cast_context.dart`	Google Cast initialization	Always needed
`discovery.dart`	Device discovery	When you need to find devices
`session.dart`	Session management	When managing cast sessions
`media.dart`	Media control	When controlling media playback
`widgets.dart`	UI components	When using built-in cast widgets
`entities.dart`	Data models	When working with cast data
`enums.dart`	Constants & enums	When you need specific constants

📊 Benefits #

Smaller bundle size: Only include what you use
Faster compilation: Less code to analyze and compile
Cleaner namespace: Avoid importing unused classes
Better IDE support: More precise auto-completion

🔄 Migration Guide #

Usage #

1. Import the Library #

You have several options for importing the Flutter Chrome Cast library:

Option A: Complete Import (Recommended for getting started)

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/flutter_chrome_cast.dart';

Option B: Selective Imports (Recommended for production)

For better performance and cleaner code, import only what you need:

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

// Core functionality
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/cast_context.dart';  // Google Cast initialization
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/discovery.dart';    // Device discovery
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/session.dart';      // Session management
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/media.dart';        // Media control

// UI widgets (if needed)
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/widgets.dart';      // Cast UI widgets

// Data models (if needed)
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/entities.dart';     // Cast entities
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/enums.dart';        // Enums and constants

Option C: Legacy Import (Deprecated)

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_chrome_cast/lib.dart';  // ⚠️ Deprecated - use option A or B

💡 Pro Tip: Use selective imports (Option B) in production apps to reduce bundle size and improve compile times. You only import the functionality you actually use.

2. Initialize the Google Cast Context #

Initialize the Google Cast context in your app's initState() or main function:

Future<void> initPlatformState() async {
  // Use the default Cast application ID or your custom one
  const appId = GoogleCastDiscoveryCriteria.kDefaultApplicationId;
  GoogleCastOptions? options;
  
  if (Platform.isIOS) {
    options = IOSGoogleCastOptions(
      GoogleCastDiscoveryCriteriaInitialize.initWithApplicationID(appId),
    );
  } else if (Platform.isAndroid) {
    options = GoogleCastOptionsAndroid(
      appId: appId,
    );
  }
  
  // Initialize the Google Cast context
  GoogleCastContext.instance.setSharedInstanceWithOptions(options!);
}

3. Device Discovery #

The plugin automatically discovers Cast devices when initialized. You can also manually start/stop discovery:

// Start discovery (usually automatic when app is in foreground)
GoogleCastDiscoveryManager.instance.startDiscovery();

// Stop discovery to save battery
GoogleCastDiscoveryManager.instance.stopDiscovery();

4. Display Available Devices #

Create a UI to show discovered Cast devices:

StreamBuilder<List<GoogleCastDevice>>(
  stream: GoogleCastDiscoveryManager.instance.devicesStream,
  builder: (context, snapshot) {
    final devices = snapshot.data ?? [];
    
    if (devices.isEmpty) {
      return const Center(
        child: Text('No Cast devices found'),
      );
    }
    
    return ListView.builder(
      itemCount: devices.length,
      itemBuilder: (context, index) {
        final device = devices[index];
        return ListTile(
          leading: const Icon(Icons.cast),
          title: Text(device.friendlyName),
          subtitle: Text(device.modelName ?? 'Unknown model'),
          onTap: () => _connectToDevice(device),
        );
      },
    );
  },
)

5. Connect to a Cast Device #

Future<void> _connectToDevice(GoogleCastDevice device) async {
  try {
    await GoogleCastSessionManager.instance.startSessionWithDevice(device);
    print('Connected to ${device.friendlyName}');
  } catch (e) {
    print('Failed to connect: $e');
  }
}

6. Monitor Connection Status #

Listen to connection state changes:

StreamBuilder<GoogleCastSession?>(
  stream: GoogleCastSessionManager.instance.currentSessionStream,
  builder: (context, snapshot) {
    final isConnected = GoogleCastSessionManager.instance.connectionState == 
        GoogleCastConnectState.ConnectionStateConnected;
    
    return IconButton(
      onPressed: isConnected 
          ? GoogleCastSessionManager.instance.endSessionAndStopCasting
          : null,
      icon: Icon(
        isConnected ? Icons.cast_connected : Icons.cast,
        color: isConnected ? Colors.blue : Colors.grey,
      ),
    );
  },
)

7. Load and Play Media #

Single Media Item

Future<void> _loadSingleMedia(GoogleCastDevice device) async {
  await GoogleCastSessionManager.instance.startSessionWithDevice(device);

  await GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.loadMedia(
    GoogleCastMediaInformationIOS(
      contentId: 'elephants_dream',
      streamType: CastMediaStreamType.BUFFERED,
      contentUrl: Uri.parse(
        'http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ElephantsDream.mp4'
      ),
      contentType: 'video/mp4',

    ],
    options: GoogleCastQueueLoadOptions(
      startIndex: 0,
      playPosition: const Duration(seconds: 0),
    ),
  );
}

8. Media Playback Controls #

Basic Controls

// Play/Pause toggle
void _togglePlayPause() {
  final isPlaying = GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.mediaStatus?.playerState == 
      CastMediaPlayerState.playing;
  
  if (isPlaying) {
    GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.pause();
  } else {
    GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.play();
  }
}

// Stop playback
void _stop() {
  GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.stop();
}

// Seek to specific position
void _seekTo(Duration position) {
  GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.seek(
    GoogleCastMediaSeekOption(position: position)
  );
}

Queue Controls

// Skip to next item in queue
void _skipToNext() {
  GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.queueNextItem();
}

// Skip to previous item in queue
void _skipToPrevious() {
  GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.queuePrevItem();
}

// Insert item into queue
void _insertQueueItem() {
  GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.queueInsertItems(
    [
      GoogleCastQueueItem(
        mediaInformation: GoogleCastMediaInformationIOS(
          contentId: 'new_video',
          streamType: CastMediaStreamType.BUFFERED,
          contentUrl: Uri.parse('your_video_url_here'),
          contentType: 'video/mp4',
          metadata: GoogleCastMovieMediaMetadata(
            title: 'New Video',
            studio: 'Your Studio',
            releaseDate: DateTime.now(),
          ),
        ),
      )
    ],
    beforeItemWithId: 2, // Insert before item with ID 2
  );
}

9. Monitor Media Status #

StreamBuilder<GoggleCastMediaStatus?>(
  stream: GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.mediaStatusStream,
  builder: (context, snapshot) {
    final mediaStatus = snapshot.data;
    
    if (mediaStatus == null) {
      return const Text('No media loaded');
    }
    
    final isPlaying = mediaStatus.playerState == CastMediaPlayerState.playing;
    final duration = mediaStatus.mediaInformation?.duration ?? Duration.zero;
    final position = GoogleCastRemoteMediaClient.instance.playerPosition;
    
    return Column(
      children: [
        Text('Status: ${isPlaying ? "Playing" : "Paused"}'),
        Text('Title: ${mediaStatus.mediaInformation?.metadata?.title ?? "Unknown"}'),
        LinearProgressIndicator(
          value: duration.inSeconds > 0 ? position.inSeconds / duration.inSeconds : 0,
        ),
        Text('${_formatDuration(position)} / ${_formatDuration(duration)}'),
      ],
    );
  },
)

10. Add Mini Controller #

The plugin provides a convenient mini controller widget:

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    body: Stack(
      children: [
        // Your main app content
        YourMainContent(),
        
        // Mini controller (appears when casting)
        const GoogleCastMiniController(),
      ],
    ),
  );
}

Customization: Themes & Texts #

You can customize the look and feel of the player and localize its texts using the GoogleCastPlayerTheme and GoogleCastPlayerTexts classes.

Customizing the Player Theme #

final darkTheme = GoogleCastPlayerTheme(
  backgroundColor: Colors.black,
  titleTextStyle: const TextStyle(
    fontSize: 18,
    fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
    color: Colors.white,
  ),
  deviceTextStyle: TextStyle(
    fontSize: 14,
    color: Colors.grey[400],
    fontWeight: FontWeight.w400,
  ),
  iconColor: Colors.white,
  iconSize: 32,
  imageBorderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(8),
  imageShadow: [
    BoxShadow(
      color: Colors.white.withOpacity(0.2),
      blurRadius: 6,
      offset: const Offset(0, 2),
    ),
  ],
);

// Use with the player widget:
ExpandedGoogleCastPlayerController(
  theme: darkTheme,
)

Customizing Player Texts (Localization) #

const spanishTexts = GoogleCastPlayerTexts(
  unknownTitle: 'Título desconocido',
  castingToDevice: (deviceName) => 'Transmitiendo a $deviceName',
  noCaptionsAvailable: 'Sin subtítulos disponibles',
  captionsOff: 'Desactivar',
  trackFallback: (trackId) => 'Pista $trackId',
);

// Use with the player widget:
ExpandedGoogleCastPlayerController(
  texts: spanishTexts,
)

You can combine both theme and texts for full customization:

ExpandedGoogleCastPlayerController(
  theme: darkTheme,
  texts: spanishTexts,
)

Android x86 target deprecation warnings:
- x86 targets are excluded by default
- Use: flutter build apk --target-platform android-arm64,android-arm
AndroidX migration conflicts:
- Jetifier is optimized with blacklisted problematic dependencies
- AndroidX is enabled by default

Dependency resolution issues:

flutter clean
flutter pub get
cd android && ./gradlew clean
flutter build apk --target-platform android-arm64,android-arm

For detailed troubleshooting, see ANDROID_BUILD_TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
