AI-generated Key Takeaways

• PrecacheManager is the entry point for pre-cache APIs and can be obtained using CastContext.getPrecacheManager().

• The precache method allows developers to pre-cache content to reduce loading time during playback.

• Implementing an onPrecache() method on the receiver side is necessary when using the precache API.
