Android L is to have a split-screen function between native applications … – PC World

The first edition of Android Development L was presented in June of this year, and this month we are looking forward to a stable version of the operating system. It seems that in addition to the already announced changes Google may hold at least jedenego ace in the hole, the mode will be running multiple applications simultaneously.

Android L has been developed with a view to smartphones and tablets with a screen size of any length. So far, Google’s operating system for mobile devices yet allowed to use only one application at a time in full screen mode. In order to benefit from another program it was necessary to first reduce the previously used application.

Android itself does not support split-screen, but several manufacturers have attempted to implement such solutions alone. The best example is the line of devices from Samsung Galaxy Note. In other manufacturers, such as. Japanese Sony, you can run mini-applications and widgets in a window that floats on the interface you are currently using the program.

Support Android Police arrived to information, from which it appears that Google is working on the possibility of run two applications side by side in every Android device. Applications would divide among themselves the surface under both vertical and horizontal. Only one of the windows may then be activated. In the default view space is divided in half, but you can change the aspect ratio in favor of one of the applications. The solution is in the graphics looks similar to that known from Windows 8.1.

It is not known whether Google will solve another problem at the same time, which is the inability to run the same application in two instances. It would be very helpful when working example. Above two text documents at the same time. Now for this purpose you have to use two different editors, because applications can not open an additional window, as is the case with software for personal computers.
