Wish Start an Activity alongside another

I suggest that there is a variant of StartActivity that sets FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCH_ADJACENT in the starting intent so that an Activity can be displayed alongside the calling Activity in split screen or multi-window mode. Having Activity.isInMultiWindowMode() available would also be useful.

There are most probably further negative ramifications in being able to do this which I cannot currently explore.

It is quite simple to start an activity yourself:
B4X: 
Sub Activity_Click
    Dim in As Intent = GetActivityIntent(Activity2)
    'add flags here
    StartActivity(in)
End Sub

Sub GetActivityIntent (act As Object) As Intent
    Dim ctxt As JavaObject
    ctxt.InitializeContext
    Dim in As JavaObject
    in.InitializeNewInstance("android.content.Intent", Array(ctxt, act))
    Return in
End Sub
