Android Question Nougat Split Screen

[peggjones]

When I try to use a split screen with my apps by long pressing recent apps I get "App doesn't support split screen". Anyone know how to enable split screen in my app?

Many Thanks

Never tried it (because i don´t have a Android 7 device) but have a look at

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/multi-window.html

Thanks for that but it's all a bit out of my league. I'm an amateur! I'll wait a while, I'm sure someone on here will sort an easy way to do it. I'm sure it will interest more people as Nougat rolls out to more devices.

Multi window has been available on Samsung devices since Android 5. They have an SDK for multi window support http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/multiwindow. Maybe someone would be interested to have a look at it and port it to B4A?

I've just discovered that installing version 24 of Android SDK and recompiling the program automatically enables split screen mode in Nougat. What happens though is the display from the app is simply truncated. It doesn't automatically resize to fit into half of the screen. Are there any
experts out there with any idea as to how you could make it resize?
Many Thanks
