LeftNavBarLibrary does not auto expand on googletv running 4.2.2

Question

I have an app that uses the auto expanding Leftnavbar found in the Google TV samples The leftnav works perfectly (auto-expands / collapses on focus/loss of focus)on all v2 / v3 devices however it stays collapsed on LG TVs running v4. I tried running the LeftNavBarDemo which shows the same behavior. Any idea on how to regain the original behavior ?

Answer 1

I had to fix add an expanded check in addFocusables and focusSearch on LeftNavView to fix the problem for API >= 14

Answer 2

FYI, the google widget DrawerLayout and its emulation layer via google library android.support.v4 works on all versions of GTV.
