How to build an extension for SeriesGuide

If added by the user in SeriesGuide, an extension can provide an action button shown below an episode or movie.

The button might link to external content (app deep-link, web page, ...) or trigger an action in another app (play, record, ...). Or it can just display some status information (e.g. "downloaded"). Have a look at the available extensions on Google Play.

Get started

Add the API dependency to your Android project:
```
implementation("com.uwetrottmann.seriesguide:seriesguide-api:2.2.1")
```
The artifact is published on Maven Central.
Create a new class that extends SeriesGuideExtension and overrides at least one of the onRequest methods.
Create a new class that extends SeriesGuideExtensionReceiver.
Add the required tags to your AndroidManifest.xml file. See AndroidManifest.xml of the example app. See the class documentation of SeriesGuideExtension for details and additional configuration, e.g. how to add a configuration activity.

To support safer intents in Android 15 (SDK 35) make sure to add the subscribe and update actions to the intent filter of the receiver.

When targeting Android 11 (SDK 30) add queries tags to allow the extension to see the SeriesGuide app (learn about package visiblity changes):
```
<manifest>
    
    <queries>
        <package android:name="com.battlelancer.seriesguide" />
        <package android:name="com.uwetrottmann.seriesguide.amzn" />
    </queries>
</manifest>
```

Install your extension side-by-side with SeriesGuide. You should be able to add it from the extension customization screen. The activity of this screen, com.battlelancer.seriesguide.extensions.ExtensionsConfigurationActivity, is exported so your code can directly start it, e.g. to direct users to add your extension.

How to deep link to a show or episode

Use the Intents class. See the MainActivity class for examples.
