Usage

Call MediaManager.Current from any .Net library or Xamarin project to gain access to APIs.

IMPORTANT: Initialize plugin

Make sure to call Init() in all the native platforms on startup of your app.

CrossMediaManager.Current.Init();

Optionally provide the Activity on Android. This will also be used to bind the Android Service and will be used as Intent to launch from a notification.

public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity
{
	protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
	{
		base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
		SetContentView(Resource.Layout.main_activity);

		CrossMediaManager.Current.Init(this);
	}
}
