External Display Not Detected by Android's MediaRouter

Reported by mmur...@commonsware.com, Aug 16 2016 
Version: 53.0.2785.47 dev (64-bit)
Platform: 8530.43.0 (Official Build) dev-channel cyan
Device: Acer Chromebook R11 C738T

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Plug an external display into the HDMI port of the Chromebook
(2) Build, install, and run the attached app

Expected result: the CommonsWare home page to be shown on the external display

Actual result: the Android app is oblivious to the external display, which shows whatever Chrome OS would normally show (extended desktop or mirror)

If you try this app on an HDMI-equipped Android device (e.g., Nexus 10), the external display works fine.

If this is WAI (Android's MediaRouter subsystem should not have access to external displays), then it should be documented.

Thanks!

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=628589 is filed about external display support.
I am suspecting that MediaRouter is probably not the API external display will be exposed to Android but I could be wrong.

The MediaRouter API has been supported since M62, though the Presentation API currently has a bug where the presentation dialog fails to be displayed in some cases. This is tracked internally as b/67645409 and should be fixed in the next milestone.
