I´m using this project example for casting a video content on the TV screen. There are strange issues when I try to cast a video that is already playing in LocalPlayerActivity. So, in LocalPlayerActivity I click on play button in order to play video in the local player, after that, I click on the Cast button and select a device for casting the video content. The ExpandedControlsActivity, which should be afterwards shown, appears for one second and then immediately disappears. The thing is that I didn´t touch anything in the code.

Here is the video as well for better understanding, does anyone know what could be the problem?

Android log:

After some researching and debugging, I think I found a workaround. I just stopped the thread for 500ms in method onStatusUpdated in LocalPlayerActivity before executing the code for showing ExpandedControlsActivity. 

remoteMediaClient.addListener(new RemoteMediaClient.Listener()
            {
                @Override
                public void onStatusUpdated()
                {
                    try
                    {
                        Thread.sleep(500); // add this line
                        Intent intent = new Intent(LocalPlayerActivity.this, ExpandedControlsActivity.class);
                        startActivity(intent);
                        remoteMediaClient.removeListener(this);
                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {
                        Log.e("onStatusUpdated", e.toString());
                    }
                }
                ...

After that, ExpandedControlsActivity isn't disappearing anymore.
