Samsung's MultiWindow drag and drop with latest SDK for Android

I was trying to implement Samsung's MultiWindow support in an Android app, and I haven't been able to find the drag and drop feature between MultiWindows that was available in Samsung's S Pen SDK 2.3.

Latest SDK for Pen is 4.0.7 and for MultiWindow is 1.2.6: in both cases drag and drop support seems to have vanished - and previous SDK versions cannot be found anywhere.

So, is there any way to support drag and drop between MultiWindows or it is not possible now?

Solution

  • Samsung has not included the feature in the latest SDKs mostly due to performance issues that they may have noticed. I found a similar thread on the Developers Site:

    http://developer.samsung.com/forum/thread/how-to-implement-multiwindow-drag-and-drop-in-the-new-sdk-103/201/253829?boardName=SDK&startId=zzzzz~&searchSubId=0000000016

    I would suggest you to use Android's Drag&Drop listeners to implement the same which is pretty similar to how it was done in the older SDK's.

    Hope this helps!
