1278364 - App may not work with split-screen message

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

When entering split screen mode on Android N there is a message "App may not work with split-screen"

I believe that this depends on the build with the N SDK (API 24) to get rid of the message.

We'll move to this to target a specific release when SDK 24 is available.

Comment 2

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

Are we to an SDK where we can remove this?

Comment 3

[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

This message comes from Android, we still build with SDK 23. See the dependent bug build-android-n.

As per https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/multi-window, compatibility behaviours or this warning message are gone will be gone once targetting API24 or higher. So before raising our target API for good someone should check how good or bad we cope with this.
If in the worst case we're crashing or are otherwise unusable with this, we should set android:resizeableActivity="false" in our manifest.

Tested with target 26 and everything seems alright, after we raise the target, we should have someone from QA verify that it works as intended.

Verified on:
HTC 10 (Android 8.0)
Nokia 6 (Android 7.1.1)
The message doesn't appear anymore and can use the app in split-screen mode.
