About Parallel Windows for Nougat and Oreo

If you happen to be a fan of split-window mode in Android Nougat, there is a good chance that may find this nifty tools App that I have been working on.

What it does? 3 things as of now:

#1 Provide an onscreen shortcut to toggle split-screen
#2 Quickly launch any new App in split-screen mode through a floating mini App drawer.
#3 Mirror an App!

YES! You can run two Windows of an App, two windows of almost any App on a phone but MANY windows of an App on tablet, as seen on the screenshots.

The set of tools can be accessed by swiping from right edge of the screen.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

* The App is in 'Alpha' version, very 'experimental' in nature. Please keep that in mind while you review the App. Genuinely positive review will definitely fasten the development. ;)
* The current version of the App is designed ONLY for split-screen mode. However, there is no hard restriction placed, you can play around but expect bugs/unexpected behaviour if you use the App in 'picture-in-picture mode' or 'freeform mode'
* If you want to provide some detailed feedback or have query, consider posting onto this XDA Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-android-7-0-nougats-split-window-t3454416

HAVE CONCERNS FOR THE ACCESSIBILITY PERMISSION?

This App requires two Accessibility Permissions, while they are sensitive, this App absolutely requires them by design to provide an balanced UX and Functionality. If you don't like/want to grant permission, please DO NOT DOWNLOAD and leave a negative review, may be some other App of mine in future will be built to your liking. :)

That being said, neither I nor the App has any interest in misusing the permissions, I am a recognized developer at xda-developers.com, I develop things out of interest and my enthusiasm towards technology. And it gives me great joy to see my App running on random users across the world, the App which took countless hours to build on my computer.

ZUK 1323 (Z2 Plus running Android 7) has a split screen built in but, but you couldn't use mirrored WhatsApp. It wasn't highlighted and then I spotted this app. YES it works on the Z2 Plus from India. I have yet to fully test the other apps like having a WhatsApp window open and checking my email or YouTube or a game etc. I will and edit my review soon. So far 4**** bro. Well done guys. If it pulls off the others as well, I will certainly rate it 5+*****

I know there are some more tweaks to be performed in this app like playing multiple videos over YouTube or playing games (that's why it's in alpha phase right!). Needless to say the app works flawlessly and I would totally recommend it to everyone. Just remove the ads or make an add free version of the app.. Will be very helpful. Amazing app I will say. Loved it.

Very nice app. The features for it are really cool and on my phone it works perfectly. However on my tablet the mirror feature doesn't work properly and I have no idea how to get more than 2 windows on my tablet. I really wanted to give this 5 stars but it is a but buggy so I decided a 4 would be fair. If it gets fixed up for my tablet the app will get a 5 star.

I dont understand, doesn't Android 7.0+ come Stock with this? Mine did works great no ads just open more than 2 apps..tap recent... Then tap the split icon on first app for top.. Then do it again for bottom half...

The apps it's work on messaging apps and other but not on game I wonder why. And for music or video playback can't play two video at once. But I didn't blame the app it just android limitations, maybe. Overall good job.

Edit: Not OPENING 2 instances with YouTube on Nexus 5x 7.1.1: (didn't say running 2 videos.) You EXPLICITLY show a promotional image running YouTube side-by-side. Developer is rude and inept.

It's alright, I just wish it would integrate with Samsung multi window. This app's UI was a bit redundant.

Great effort dev! I'm only here to make comment for those who don't really appreciate a thing what is brought to their feet. What a lack of virtue!

wow this is just mind blowing work dev.... i always wanted this type of application, now i can finally use 2 instances of whatsapp! the side panel is great, animations butter smooth, i dont mind ads as i know its very important for you as a developer to keep up with your work and keep the app on play store for a lot more time! But i have one request please, i hate accessibility services, as soon as i activate em keyboard and various apps start lagging... im using oneplus 3T btw and this problem is there with most other phones... can you please add a method for app to work without accessibility root mode or something i really appreciate you work if its not possible its ok! Thank you so much for this app dev! But please look into accessibility service bug many of the users dont know that it causes lag but its really annoying for a phone with latest specs!

I only installed just to give you 5 stars, i keep seeing the 1 star rating reviews and you're a nice guy trying to offer a cool concept in an app with a balance of some ads to support development and they believe it is their given right to have that app constantly updated and improved without any support it's like thinking your time isn't valuable or worthy of appreciation and all the ad hatred here is ironic since we're at the play store, keep it up buddy, and good luck with everything

Love this app. Very useful. I Wonder tho if it is possible to include a mirror image of one app. Same app running twice. Reason being copies screen on one side to view in vr. Could be very useful combined with a streaming app like beam or ps4 remote play. To view direct from console to android viewed vr headset

Works Great! I just wish there was a pay to remove ads feature. As well I would love of the Hotspot only appeared when multi-window open. Otherwise works perfectly!

Works great. Does what it says it does. The one thing i have to say tho is that it needs an On/Off switch.

I can't seem to get it to work or pull out the side bar. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

E70%
by E####:

The app is very well made and I appreciate the functionality it provides. My phone's rom has most of this functionality built in, so this won't be a daily driver. The developer deserves recognition for their responsiveness to other review though, not many developers answer reviews. Its a great app and a great developer.

NEVER EVER DOWNLOAD IT. YOU SAID THAT ITS A TESTING VERSION OF THE APP, EVEN SO; YOU SHOULD RELEASE A COMPATIBLE VERSION FOR 'REDMI NOTE 4' USERS

It opens two windows but it freezes the other window as soon as I go to 2nd window.. so it's useless

Great app ! Really well done ! But only 4 stars because it won't work with Firefox, which is kind of a deal breaker for me. But I'll keep looking for updates ! Good job !

In freeform mode is it normal that the background is always empty?

Works great for the limited amount I used it, can't avoid the "this app won't run in split screen" error, but not a fault of the app.

Great concept, however most apps behave in very strange ways, especially YouTube. I'd love to see some improvements to this app

To be experimental, it works pretty well on my asus zenfone 2. Hope it will reach a mature development, since it's very promising

Works well enough for alpha version. Just wish someone would make a "fix" which doesn't let the other app 'pause' when not in focus.
