Android Q’s “Multi-Resume” feature will let two apps run simultaneously without pausing

Multi-window on Android was present in different forms even prior to the release of Android Nougat’s multi-window functionality. But then Google gave Android a predictable and uniform implementation of multi-window support with three different multi-window modes: split-screen, freeform, and picture-in-picture (available for phones in Android Oreo).

However, the split-screen functionality, as was…

Samsung Good Lock update adds a new Multi Window module

Many people call the features that Samsung adds into Samsung Experience (previously called TouchWiz) “bloatware” because they may end up using 5% of what is available. Naturally, what is and what is not bloatware is subjective because we all use our smartphones differently, but Samsung has recently begun experimenting with new features via modules in an application called Good Lock. This month…

Xiaomi tłumaczy, dlaczego do tej pory w MIUI nie było opcji dzielenia ekranu

Nakładki producentów są o tyle fajne, że bardzo często oferują funkcje, których na próżno szukać w "czystym" Androidzie. MIUI Xiaomi jest jednym z najbardziej rozbudowanych interfejsów, aczkolwiek także nie ma kilku, wydawałoby się "oczywistych", udogodnień. Jednym z nich jest możliwość dzielenia ekranu. Właśnie dowiedzieliśmy się, dlaczego Chińczycy tyle zwlekali z wprowadzeniem tej opcji. (...)

嗯....我以為N的多視窗跟全螢幕Apps的開發者沒關係了，結果看了這篇我覺得有點慘，還是得測一下。

幾個重點：

1.用響應式UI (Responsive UI)：什麼是響應式UI，聽過RWD吧，類似的概念，根據外框的size不同，有不同layout。而且在multi-window還可動態改大小，要設更多級變化。

2.在分割視窗的世界，避免只用邊緣滑動手勢開某些功能，可加顆button之類當另一開關。

3.就算你App要全螢幕，也別完全不處理multi-window，只要可multi-window的App叫你的App起來，那你的App就繼承多視窗特性了。

看了介紹影片覺得多工鍵(overview button)變強了

然後，果然還是只有Google自己的App能支援分割螢幕，跟android dev說的一樣，要resizeableActivity才能放進split-screen。

嘛...測試時可試試，沒用最新SDK編的應該無法用這功能，也就放不進去小格子囉..

個人認為，可能用的情境如下： 1.邊用App，邊聊天，一邊是通訊軟體(IM)，一邊是其它程式。 2.邊用App，邊查資料，一邊是瀏覽器或提供資訊的App，另一邊是其它程式。 3.要多次複製、貼上，一邊是來源，一邊是目的。 4.比較文件。 5.同時兩群組聊天。

這些都是常在雙螢幕時發生的事，所以說...

IM/ Text/ Chat Apps呀！你一定要支援。 Doc/ Note/ Todo Apps呀！你一定要支援。 Ref/ Info/ Book Apps 呀！你一定要支援。

New patent for Samsung reveals work on Iconic UX user interface

A new patent that was filed in Korea reveals some work Samsung has been pursuing in developing new multi-window features for a user interface dubbed Iconic UX. The interface appears to be focused on an interface that provides several windows for apps to utilize. Similar to what Samsung has done with their Touchwiz multi-window function, users would be able to share content between open windows using drag and drop type interactions.

Sources have also noted that the images shown in the patent application hint at Samsung’s Magazine UX that was deployed to some tablet devices. Samsung ran into some issues with Google earlier this year over the Magazine UX which caused Google to tighten down on manufacturers getting away from the look and feel of Android. The Iconic UX features, if they make it to market, may only be available in certain situations due to Google’s position. Alternatively, Samsung may be developing this UI to be part of their Tizen operating system.
