Great job!! Works perfect

 

[ElderVl13]

fantastic! It would be a good idea to add a shortcut on the toggle bar to avoid using the gesture ...

Really like this app, just wondering if this could be used like the second screen on the HTC U ultra

I was waiting to use this app since long (bcoz before I was on M ROM). Recently switched to Lineage based N ROM and started using this.
What I can say is 'Great work by developer'

By default, I don't have multi window in my mobile. But with this app, I can use now .
Thank you dev for the awesome app

Not Responding

It's not responding at all with any app on my phone, I am using Infinix Note 3 Pro operating a Nought7. Well, after installing and giving it all the permission, the furthest I can get is adjusting the hotspot configuration.... when I try handling the adjusted floating hotspot, I don't get any significant action. Naturally, my phone foes support split screen but I wish to appreciate​ what your app has to offer. offer. Advise me.

UPDATE: v2.0_Alpha is up!

Hi everyone!

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 - Parallel Windows for Nougat (Android 7.0 Nougat exclusive)

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 above.

The set of tools can be accessed by swiping from right edge of the screen, couple of screenshots of the App:

Here is a video demo (please note that it's on an emulator, expect some lags here and there.) In case you're only interested in checking out how the mirroring of App works, jump to 03:14 in the video. And if anybody can shoot a quality video, please do and upload to this thread.

Please subscribe, share the link of this thread with your Nexus friends (running Android Nougat.)

Thank you for going through my post.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION AND SOME IMPORTANT NOTES ON THE APP IS LEFT ON THE THIRD POST.

What's changed/new in v2.1_Alpha:

* The white background of "RECENT ACTIVITY" panel is now toned down.
* Recent activity removes Apps which are uninstalled.
* Added/changed UI texts wherever needed.


What's changed/new in v2.0_Alpha:

* Significant improvement in the UI controls, you should feel everything super snappy now.
* App drawer now supports fast scrolling.
* You can now adjust the placement of the hotspot to trigger Parallel Windows side bar - length, width, location (up/down/left/right.)
* A new panel is now available, 'RECENT ACTIVITY' - whichever App you launch/mirror using Parallel Windows, goes here. This panel will have more additions in future - shortcut to launch multiple Apps, widgets etc.

What's changed/new in v1.2_Alpha:

* The App is now battery ready - uses CPU for only the few seconds when you interact with it.

What's changed/new in v1.1_Alpha:

* The floating App drawer should be super responsive now.
* After swiping in left the tools menu, you can tap anywhere on the screen to exit (earlier you had to swipe back to the right.)
* Added quick sharing option.

Manually install an apk. Try to tap install button. Nothing happens due to the screen overlay.

Will be fixed in next update.

Thanks for this app. I saw it on the playstore and I found it very interesting. I'm not gonna give it a lot of use, because I don't need to mirror apps, but I thinks it's a great work. Congratulations and thanks, it works perfectly!

Thanks.

Not working with Chrome Canary, it kinda works with the Youtube app but if you watch the vid in fullscreen, the other window will just have black screen. (Device: Xiaomi Redmi Note 3/Slim7)

Same here on my Nexus 6P

Unfortunately, I can't control the behaviour of the App, if the App changes its function.

Also, you can't play two videos at same time on Android.

Great job!! Works perfect

Thanks.

Some Android 7.0+ ROMs do not have support for quick tiles, so trying to avoid it at the moment.

Could you elaborate? If you meant having the bottom/top screen as a dashboard for quick switching apps etc, well it's possible but covering half the screen isn't a great idea.

You're not able to swipe at the hotspot? May be increase its thickness to max and do a slow swipe just to see if it works.

Need feedback

Guys, I need some feedback on the mechanism to activate Parallel Windows. Currently there is a hotspot to trigger, what do you think about it, is there an improvement I can make?

I have considered two other possibility:

#1 Whenever recents page is opened, I can display a semi transparent icons at either center left/center right of the screen for toggling the Parallel Windows' tools, but that might ruin the look of the recents page and am no graphics designer.

#2 The second way could be, I could configure a long press on home button to launch dedicated Parallel Windows Panel, there could be an option to launch Google Assistant as well (since long press home action will be replaced.) But one downside would be, everytime you have to do a long press. Do you think it's a good idea?

 

[thisisarjun]

Hello,
My suggestion is to add both the ways and let user choose based upon their interest
It satisfies all the users out there

 

[MPeya]

Tnx for this app..its amazing.
Appreciate your effort.

 

[tcpcd]

thanks. its works like charm

not working

Hi im playing this game but it wont run at the same time.. it also wont run at the same time with other apps(ex fb, ig and twitter) ... but in a samsung device it work properly.. btw im using parallel space to run the other client.. and Im using OnePlus 3T OSS 4.1.7

 

[SmilerOnline]

Extremely buggy in Samsung DeX, it seems that DeX would be the perfect place for a tool like this, but unfortunately it continuously crashes when it has switched between phone and desktop mode, to the point that it is difficult to navigate to the Access service to disable the service...

 

[kereth]

Thank You for the app. It is quite cool, but...
1. It (maybe that's obvious) doesn't work with some apps, for example Yandex Browser.
2. I've got a bit different vision of it... I don't want any extra on-screen stuff - that's not what I need. What I'd like is to be able to hold home button (which opens Google search by default I believe) and just end up with current application cloned. I believe it's pretty possible to do. Is it?
Thank You in advance.

 

[FPSUsername]

A suggestion, can't we drag and drop from the apps list to the top or bottom of the screen to set a splitscreen setup?

Does this work on Lineage 14.1???

 

[1branchonthevine]

Any chance you can offer a link to the APK... google seems to have removed it from the play store, and i dont trust those third party apk mirror backup sites. Also, does this app allow two different save sessions of the same app? for instance, i would not only like to run the same app, but i would like it's data folder to save separate config files for the app, that way each copy of the app has it's own setup when i open them. Awesome, Thanks!
