A simple widget and shortcut icon for the screencasting Miracast feature enabled in Android devices in Android 4.2+

For Christmas 2013, I got a Netgear Push2TV box that allows me to mirror my display wirelessly from my Nexus 5. But... the setting to do this was four or five clicks from the home screen. I wanted a shorcut so I could do this faster, so I made one!

This project includes one simple Activity that simply opens the settings menu to the correct Activity to choose a display and cast your screen. It also includes a widget that can open that settings screen with one click, and list the device you are streaming to if Miracast is currently enabled.
