on android 4.1.2 the multiwindow code is changed and it is now easier with simple code to add apps to multiwondow , it seems that samsung wants to help developers so it made it easy like it always was on note 2WOW
It works great on my ROM :good:
I have now linked your Thread in my ROM Thread!!
Good Work!!
One Question .. why it works only on Android 4.1.2?? Where is the different?
Not working here, whenever I mark an app I want to get multiwindowed the Manager crashes "/ I'm on stock deodexed 4.1.2 and was using the zip for multiwindow but I've just restored to "stock" multiwindow.

This app will allow you to easily manage what apps can be run in multi-window mode.
Big thanks to xperiacle for figuring this out and to thegios for the idea.
Any donations are greatly appreciated

I believe first thing first is you have to remove the dashes manually... that's something I forgot to ask the developer

question: are you giving for granted that all apps listed in the feature.xml have no dash in front?
one thing you may want to add, on startup, is if there's any dash in the list and ask the user if he wants to remove them

Yea on first fun it removes the default entries with dashes...I never considered anyone would leave them.

Hi bjbinc,
Are you going to release an update that adds all unticked apps with a dash in the xml and all ticked apps without a dash in the xml? I think that would be the most flexible implementation.
Perhaps on first read of xml, the ones with dashes should show up as unticked in your app.
Cheers.
So your saying every installed app should be included in the XML file? Unchecked ones having the dash in front? That would be an easy implementation as long as no one can think of any down side.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I don't think there is any down side to this and it would take care of "problem" apps like YouTube.

Probably a stupid question, but I have to ask. What about the original multi-view apps such as Contacts, Internet, S-Note etc. Should they be checked or unchecked using this app? I was afraid that since it now puts a - before anything that's not checked that I would have to check all those to not lose the capabilities.
Thats actually a good question... I assume you will need to check those apps in order to maintain multi-window functionality... can you test this and report back?

Wow what a great app. Very handy and much easier than other methods. Would it be okay if I included this in my next release of redemption rom?

Yes, multi-window manager app behaviour is a bit odd if you try to click on the actual tick selection box. Selecting the app line works fine.
Thanks for the great app! Now that i figured it out..
