Description

Steps to reproduce

Open the dialog for subtitle settings on TV and try to navigate around.

Expected behavior

One should expect that the navigation should work fine, pressing up => focus move up, pressing right => focus move right ect.

Actual behavior

There is currently no nextFocus in the color lib, making navigation hard for TV as it relies on OS navigation. This is an issue due to https://github.com/recloudstream/color-picker-android as it was not designed for TV. A custom override for focus should be done in the lib to fix it in the GridView/Adapter.

Research direction

Start with the subtitle settings dialog and the color-picker-android integration, then inspect the GridView/Adapter where focus navigation is handled. Reproduce the dialog on Android TV and verify that directional presses move focus predictably between color choices.
