Game Manager API Codelab Sample

This is a Android sample game using the Google Cast Game Manager API. The Google Cast Game Manager allows native Android, iOS, and Chrome games to connect with a Google Cast device and have communication and synchronization of player and game states across devices.

Dependencies

Android

• google-play-services_lib library from Android SDK (at least version 7.5.71)
• android-support-v7-appcompat (version 21 or above)
• android-support-v7-mediarouter (version 20 or above)

Receiver

• Check out code from GitHub and go to the sample folder under receiver with index.html.
• Host the receiver files on a web server.
• Create a new app ID for your receiver sample using the Google Cast SDK Developer Console: https://cast.google.com/publish/
• Update app IDs in the strings.xml resource file.

Setup Instructions

• Check out code from GitHub and go to a sample subfolder under game-done with a build.gradle file.
• In Android Studio, select Open Existing Android Studio Project and select the build.gradle file.
• You may need to provide the path to your local gradle installation. You can select the gradle binary inside your Android Studio installation directory.
• You can now run the app normally from within Android Studio, or use gradlew build from the command line.

If you prefer to use your local gradle installation to generate the gradle wrapper, typegradle wrapper from the project directory.
