This app really is a god send. Here's the string.xml for the french translation. I'm using it with Omnirom MultiWindow feature. All is working except for a small problem when using split view. By example, if I have SMS app opened in full window and I want to have it in split view with another app next to it, the Sidebar won't reduce the size of SMS app to make it fit in half screen. It will only open the second app in half window mode while keeping the SMS app in full window in the background. I'd like to have that possibility if possible....

I have a bug to report: my keyboard only shows up on apps that are at the top of the multi window ie window #1. When i press into the empty field/form, my keyboard wont show up for window #2. Apart from that, very good job.

Running CM10.1 jb 4.2.2 on a SK17i Xperia Mini Pro
On a 320x480 screen resolution at 160 DPI.
Hope that helps~

it happens ONLY with Xmultiwindow. XhaloFloatingwindow works like it should; pefectly.

@zst123, a suggestion:

Some way to make the arrow fade, or not show at all, when using fullscreen apps (like video players or games).

+1 to have the arrow fade out (become transparent). Other than that, it's perfect for me, thanks for your work!

While watching videos the app bar still shows up.

Please add an option for blacklisting apps

Very good start. only one issue, after selecting an apps from list sidebar still remains open until I touch the apps, sidebar should auto close after selection.

@zst123, would you be interested in creating a pop up like the one in LG roms, i.e. their version of multiwindow?
Instead of a sidebar it is triggered by holding the back button (or in modified versions, by opening a shortcut) and thus removes the need for sidebars which helps if you use other sidebars. Than you so much for your work!

Ok so I've tried both with xmultiwindow and xhalofloating modules. overall I liked the xmultiwindow module more because it doesnt open apps on top of each other and you can actually determine where you wanna place the app on the screen.. With xhalo* however the apps open on top of each other and you have to drag one down or up which is inconvenient for phones. But its more stable than xmultiwindow. BTW I have problems with the keyboard not popping on the screen with xmultiwindow on some apps such as fb messenger.

PS: And I have a pull request for Turkish translation

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get it to work in multiwindow mode. I'm trying to mimic the samsung split view. I have xmultiwindow installed as well but when I drag an app out of the sidebar to the top or bottom all it does is open the app fullscreen over each other, not splitview. What am i doing wrong?

Adding apps to sidebar causing force shutdown of app.

I'm having an issue with adding apps to the sidebar. Every time I select "Select Apps", then Add Apps, sidebar force closes. I've restarted my phone a handful of times and disable and re-enabled the app as well. Has anyone experienced this? I am running on version 4.3, SAMSUNG-SGH-I337, GS4. Thank you in advanced.

Have you tried setting the "App Launch Mode" to "XMultiWindow" in MultiWindowSidebar settings?

mattiadj · Apr 29, 2014

I'm on TouchWiz ROM on gs4 and I have disabled native multi Windows. I have a lot of apps (250+) and when I try to add an app this app fc. It's not usable for me. I think you have to add a list of installed apps an make a multi tick (tick one by one or select all/none) and not search box.

Yup. it's currently on that mode. I even tried XHaloFloatingWindow mode which I also have installed and still nothing. Even went as far as installing xpose installer & fix visibility of multi.... but still nothing. I have HTC One m8. Can that be the reason?

I have the same problem where if I click Select Apps, and just wait 2 seconds it Force Closes.

wait, so you had these modules installed without xposed framework

so do you have now a working xposed framework and is the module activated?
if yes then open xhalofloatingwindow module and go to the testing area and try to open settings screen in halo. does this work?

OK, got it to work. It was actually me having problems updating framework from xposed installer. Everytime i updated and reboot nothing happens however once changed it to install update from sd and install from recovery manually, after a reboot I was able to get each mode to work with the side bar. Now on to testing it fully.

OK, so far so good but the only issues im seeing is the keyboard overlapping, therefore u won't be able to see what ur typing, and when chrome or any browser is put at the bottom in multiwindow mode u wont be able to see the menu, tabs, address bar. Their should also be a way to drag and resize in multiwindow mode like on touchwiz.
