Multi-window mode and multi-resume

Tier 3 icon

TIER 3 — Large screen ready

Multi-window mode enables your app to share the same screen simultaneously with other apps for an enhanced, multitasking user experience. Apps share the screen in split-screen mode, picture-in-picture mode, or free-form windowing mode.

Multi-resume maintains all activities in the RESUMED state when the device is in multi-window mode, even when activities aren't focused. Multi-resume enables activities to continue processes such as video playback while the user interacts with other activities.
