SessionProvider

public abstract classSessionProviderextendsObject

An abstract base class for performing session construction. The SDK uses a subclass of SessionProvider to constructCastSession internally. If your app wants to support other types ofSession then you should subclass this class. Subclasses must implementcreateSession(String)andisSessionRecoverable(),which will be called by the Cast SDK during the lifecycle of the session. All methods must be called from the main thread.
