Issue: Talkback incompatibility in media demo app on Google TV 4K Chromecast with collapsed categories
Steps to reproduce:

1. On Google TV 4K Chrome-cast, navigate to Settings > Accessibility.
2. Enable Talkback.
3. Launch the media demo app.
4. In the media.exolist.json file, collapse a main category.
5. Expand the collapsed category again.
   Expected behavior:

• Talkback should announce the expanded category and maintain the cursor's highlighted position within the channel list.
  Observed behavior:
• After expanding the category, Talkback loses track of the previously highlighted item, and the cursor position is reset.
  Additional information:
• The issue only occurs with Talkback enabled. Disabling Talkback allows collapsing and expanding categories without problems.
• Developer mode within Talkback settings ([Settings > Accessibility > Talkback > Advanced]) can be used for debugging.
  Impact:
• This incompatibility hinders accessibility for users who rely on Talkback to navigate the media demo app.
  Recommendation:
• Investigate the cause of the cursor position being lost when expanding collapsed categories with Talkback enabled.
• Implement a fix to ensure Talkback maintains focus and announces content changes appropriately.
  Thank you,

  Note:
• I've replaced the bracketed text with a more descriptive explanation of the developer mode option.
  I hope this formatted feedback is helpful for you to forward to the media 1.4.1-alpha GitHub repository.
