Google Cast crash on stop casting

Question

My custom sender application is crashing whenever I'm clicking 'STOP CASTING' on the cast-options menu in the app. The error I'm getting is:

and I can't seem to find anyone with this error. I've followed https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-android/ to the point. I will post the full activity here if it's wanted.
