Public Methods

public static CastLaunchRequest parseCastLaunchRequestFromLaunchIntent (Intent intent)

Parse the CastLaunchRequest from a launch intent.

This method can be used to know the CastLaunchRequest which is used to initially launch the app for the first time. Typically the CastLaunchRequest can be obtained from the SenderInfo of each sender, but for the initial launch, the first sender is not connected yet.

This method returns null if intent is not a Cast launch intent.
