Extension API

Learn how to build extensions for SeriesGuide.

An extension provides a piece of text and optionally a view intent for media items (currently only episodes). It might just link to external content (app deep-link, web page, ...) or trigger an action in another app (play, record, ...). Or just display some status information (e.g. "downloaded").

The Extensions API is exclusive to X subscribers and X Pass holders. http://seriesgui.de/whypay

Get started

1. If your Android project is built with Gradle or Maven, add the following dependency:
   com.uwetrottmann.seriesguide:seriesguide-api:1.1.+
   For everyone else, an API jar is available.
2. Create a new class that extends SeriesGuideExtension.
3. Add the required tags to your AndroidManifest.xml file. Read the class documentation of SeriesGuideExtension for details.

Install your extension side-by-side with SeriesGuide and you should be able to add it from the extension customization screen.

Sample extension

A sample extension Android project for Android Studio is available.
