We're glad you are here so we can best assist you. To use casting, the supported app must be installed on your mobile device and Roku TV. You must also connect your phone or tablet to the same wireless network as your Roku device. You can do this wirelessly with supported apps like YouTube and Netflix by opening the casting icon on the mobile device on your phone or tablet and selecting your Roku device.
I have never been able to use Android's native cast (Cast Connect) to cast through my Roku devices. Some of my previous Android phones were able to use Google Cast to cast some content (ie. Youtube, Netflix, etc-- that symbol that allowed user to cast to TV from within the opened app.)
I just use third party casting apps now when needing to cast content from my Android mobile devices to the Roku device. My personal preference is Web Video Caster (WVC), but others like Castify and Tubio work fine also.
With all the above, you install the app on your mobile device or phone (all can be found in the Play Store), and then you install a companion receiver on your Roku device. (all found in the Roku Channel Store).
The apps mentioned above are free (with ads on phone), and all offer paid features also. WVC is a one-time purchase of $3 or $4 for an ad-free full featured lifetime use, but the free version works perfectly fine. (a few additional features with the paid version).
Is there a way to cast from my mobile device to my Roku tv using Androids screen cast feature or if I'm in a mobile app for which an equivalent app is unavailable on Roku tv? I've been able to do these functions on my Android TV.
You can of course cast to your Roku TV what you are already watching on your mobile device. To use casting, the supported app must be installed on both your mobile device and your Roku streaming device. You must also make sure to connect your phone or tablet to the same wireless network as your Roku device.
You can do this wirelessly with supported apps like YouTube and Netflix by opening the casting icon on a mobile device on your phone or tablet and selecting your Roku device. The channel will launch automatically on your Roku device and playback will begin.
If you are unable to cast Netflix from your phone to your Roku TV even though you have downloaded the Netflix app on both devices and they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, there are a few things you can try:
Note: The Screen Cast icon may be located in different locations depending on your Android phone model and version of Android. If you can't find it in the Quick Settings panel, try searching for it in the Settings app. Additionally, not all Android phones support screen casting, so make sure your device is compatible before attempting to cast.

The Pixel Tablet is an 11-inch slate with a matte nano-ceramic coating on its rear that feels nice to the touch. The bezels around the screen are kind of chunky, but they're uniform. I'm glad they aren't razor-thin because it would've made it annoying to hold the tablet without interrupting the screen. You get three color choices: Porcelain, Hazel, and Rose. (I chose Rose!)
It's an LCD panel, which is sharp and colorful with nice contrast. I rewatched Spider-Man 2 on Disney+ and it looked great (oh boy, yeah). The quad-speaker setup never felt lacking either. The tablet gets fairly loud. If you want to listen privately, there's no headphone jack, so you'll have to pair it with wireless earbuds.
As a standalone slate, the Pixel Tablet doesn't rock the boat with any top-end features. There's no OLED display, no 120-Hz screen refresh rate, no cellular connectivity option, no built-in stylus, and no keyboard accessory. You can still pair third-party devices with it. I'm currently writing this review on the tablet with the help of a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard.
But because there's no official keyboard cover, I'm using a lap desk as a surface, and Google's official Pixel Tablet case to keep the screen propped up at various angles. This case is essential as the tablet doesn't have a built-in stand. I wish there was one, like on the Surface Pro or Switch OLED. (Adding a kickstand would've interfered with the speaker hub, but more on that later.) The case is otherwise fine, though I'd have preferred the indent for the fingerprint sensor to be more spacious and accessible.
The hallmark of the Pixel Tablet is the software. Google has spent the past year polishing Android's tablet experience by updating more than 50 of its apps and encouraging third-party developers to do the same. That means apps utilize the larger screen space to show you more information and controls, like Gmail's two-pane view or Google Photos' desktop-like design. WhatsApp works as a linked device instead of forcing you to log out of your phone app and also has a two-pane view. My favorite new behavior is how Google Chrome defaults to showing desktop webpages instead of mobile websites, much like how Safari works on an iPad.
Still, the interface is much nicer to use than it's ever been on an Android tablet. There's a persistent taskbar on the homepage where you can store some of your most-used apps, and you can drag that taskbar up from the bottom of the screen while inside any app when you need to launch one of your faves. It's so easy to pull one of these apps to one side of the screen to launch another app in split-screen mode too; it's the mode I'm using right now to write this review. It is as multitasking-friendly as the iPad, or even new Android slates like the OnePlus Pad? No, but it's still plenty sufficient for light work. (Feature request: If you open a new tab in Google Chrome, please put the cursor in the URL bar already so that I don't have to manually tap on it.)
The hardware is powered by the Tensor G2 chipset with 8 GB of RAM, the same stack inside Google's Pixel 7 flagship smartphones. This means many of Google's smart features are available here, like Assistant Voice Typing, Now Playing, and Google Recorder, though I don't find 'em as useful as they are on a phone. It does mean you have access to Google's advanced image processing features, and the photos captured on either 8-megapixel camera on the front and back look pretty good for a tablet (as does the 1080p video in video calls).
