hi,

any of my apps are not compatible with multi-window (split screen viewing) since nougat release. is there any option on build.settings that I could insert that could tell android that is compatible?

regards,

Carlos.

i tried this with no success:

supportsScreens = { resizeableActivity = true, smallScreens = true, normalScreens = true, largeScreens = true, xlargeScreens = true, },

Corona Apps are in themselves not compatible with split-screen. We turn this off by default. If you turn it back on you will have to try and solve the various issues on their own. We do not recommend this.

i just need to know how enable it. i’m completing my gps location app, and i’ve 2 completely different versions, one with more info, shows me everything i need to know with internal variables to see if all will be ok, other for the client only with minimal UI. i need both on screen to see if the client version is working fine…if not i will look to the other app that shows me more info and i will know where it fails. if i can enable this in 1 line is better than creating an “hidden” menu on client version that i can popup to show the info i need…
