Public methods

createSession

abstract @NonNull SessionId createSession(ApplicationSessionTag applicationSessionTag)

Creates a Session which can be be transferred to or shared with another device. Returns the SessionId associated with that Session.

Parameters
ApplicationSessionTag applicationSessionTag

A client-defined concept that optionally describes the high level type of experience for a Session within an app.

getReceivingSession

abstract @NonNull ReceivingSession getReceivingSession(
    @NonNull Intent intent,
    @NonNull ReceivingSessionStateCallback callback
)

Receives a ReceivingSession to transfer a Session to this device. Should be called from receiving device after app is launched by D2DI with an intent specified by the originating device.

App should pass the intent it was launched with as a parameter.

Throws
com.google.ambient.crossdevice.sessions.SessionException com.google.ambient.crossdevice.sessions.SessionException

if unable to return a ReceivingSession.

getReceivingSessionFuture

abstract @NonNull ListenableFuture<@NonNull ReceivingSessiongetReceivingSessionFuture(
    @NonNull Intent intent,
    @NonNull ReceivingSessionStateCallback callback
)

Java-compatible version of getReceivingSession.

getSecondarySession

abstract @NonNull SecondarySession getSecondarySession(
    @NonNull Intent intent,
    @NonNull SecondarySessionStateCallback callback
)

Receives a SecondarySession to join a Session from this device. Should be called from receiving device after app is launched by D2DI with an intent specified by the originating device.

App should pass the intent it was launched with as a parameter.

Throws
com.google.ambient.crossdevice.sessions.SessionException com.google.ambient.crossdevice.sessions.SessionException

if unable to return a SecondarySession.

getSecondarySessionFuture

abstract @NonNull ListenableFuture<@NonNull SecondarySessiongetSecondarySessionFuture(
    @NonNull Intent intent,
    @NonNull SecondarySessionStateCallback callback
)

Java-compatible version of getSecondarySession.

registerActivityResultCaller

abstract void registerActivityResultCaller(
    @NonNull ActivityResultCaller activityResultCaller
)

Registers an ActivityResultCaller to enable Sessions to show available devices via Discovery's device launcher.

removeSession

abstract void removeSession(@NonNull SessionId sessionId)

Removes a Session so that it can no longer be discovered by other devices requesting transfer or share. If remove fails, a SessionException will be thrown.

This will cancel any ongoing requests for transfer/share ( SessionStateCallback.onTransferFailure, SessionStateCallback.onShareFailure). This will terminate any active shared sessions (Primary and Secondaries will be cleaned up - PrimarySessionStateCallback.onPrimarySessionCleanup, SecondarySessionStateCallback.onSecondarySessionCleanup).

removeSessionFuture

abstract @NonNull ListenableFuture<VoidremoveSessionFuture(@NonNull SessionId sessionId)

Java-compatible version of removeSession.

shareSession

abstract @NonNull PrimarySession shareSession(
    @NonNull SessionId sessionId,
    @NonNull StartComponentRequest startComponentRequest,
    @NonNull List<@NonNull DeviceFilter> deviceFilters,
    @NonNull PrimarySessionStateCallback callback
)

Invites another device to join a Session currently running on the device this function is called on.

Opens a dialog that searches for compatible, trusted devices. When the user selects a specific device, the receiving app on that device will receive the request to join the session via StartComponentRequest and can begin initialization (see SecondarySession). StartComponentRequest must contain an action and a user-visible reason for the request, and can optionally contain extras.

If the share cannot be initiated, a SessionException will be thrown.

If the receiving app is ready to accept the share request, PrimarySessionStateCallback.onParticipantJoined is triggered. Otherwise, PrimarySessionStateCallback.onShareFailureWithParticipant is triggered.

Once devices are selected, PrimarySessionStateCallback.onShareInitiated will be called to inform the application of the number of potential participants.

shareSessionFuture

abstract @NonNull ListenableFuture<@NonNull PrimarySessionshareSessionFuture(
    @NonNull SessionId sessionId,
    @NonNull StartComponentRequest startComponentRequest,
    @NonNull List<@NonNull DeviceFilter> deviceFilters,
    @NonNull PrimarySessionStateCallback callback
)

Java-compatible version of shareSession.

transferSession

abstract @NonNull OriginatingSession transferSession(
    @NonNull SessionId sessionId,
    @NonNull StartComponentRequest startComponentRequest,
    @NonNull List<@NonNull DeviceFilter> deviceFilters,
    @NonNull OriginatingSessionStateCallback callback
)

Transfers a Session from the device this function is called on to another.

Opens a window that searches for compatible, trusted devices. When the user selects a specific device, the receiving app on that device will receive the request to transfer via StartComponentRequest and can begin initialization (see ReceivingSession). StartComponentRequest must contain an action and a user-visible reason for the request, and can optionally contain extras.

If transfer cannot be initiated, a SessionException will be thrown.

If receiving app is ready to accept the transfer, OriginatingSessionStateCallback.onConnected is triggered. Otherwise, OriginatingSessionStateCallback.onTransferFailure is triggered.

transferSessionFuture

abstract @NonNull ListenableFuture<@NonNull OriginatingSessiontransferSessionFuture(
    @NonNull SessionId sessionId,
    @NonNull StartComponentRequest startComponentRequest,
    @NonNull List<@NonNull DeviceFilter> deviceFilters,
    @NonNull OriginatingSessionStateCallback callback
)

Java-compatible version of transferSession.
