Android MultiWindowPlayground Sample
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This sample demonstrates the use of the multi-window API available
|
|
in Android N. It shows the use of new Intent flags and
|
|
AndroidManifest properties to define the multi-window behavior.
|
|
Switch the sample app into multi-window mode to see how it affects
|
|
the lifecycle and behavior of the app.
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Android N introduces new APIs to support multiple activities
|
|
to be displayed at the same time.
|
|
|
|
Activities that are started within the same task stack
|
|
inherit their multiwindow properties from the activity that fired
|
|
off the intent. The following features are available when an activity
|
|
has been launched into a new task stack.
|
|
|
|
An activity can be set as not resizable through the
|
|
`android:resizableActivity` property in the AndroidManifest. All
|
|
applications targeting Android N or above are resizable by default.
|
|
|
|
In split-screen mode, an activity can be started adjacent to the
|
|
launching activity by setting the
|
|
`Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCH_TO_ADJACENT` flag in its intent.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes activities may choose to handle configuration changes
|
|
themselves (for example for games or OpenGL-based applications). In this
|
|
case, setting
|
|
`android:configChanges=screenSize|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|orientation`
|
|
in the AndroidManifest definition of the activity enables callbacks for
|
|
all configuration changes that may occur during multi-window use for the
|
|
Activity. See [Handling Runtime Changes][1].
|
|
|
|
In freeform mode (where applications can be freely resized), activities
|
|
can be started within a certain area of the screen using the
|
|
`ActivityOptions#setLaunchBounds` call.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the preferred and minimum sizes can be set in a new
|
|
`layout` property in the AndroidManifest.
