Using Picture-in-picture feature with Android mobile (and not Android TV)


In the new Android 7.0 android released a new feature of Picture-in-picture. As mentioned in the documentation:

Android TV users can now watch a video in a pinned window in a corner of the screen when navigating within or between apps.

I want to develop an android mobile app, that will play videos, and i want to enable the app users to minimized the video and continue to use my app - exactly what the Picture-in-picture feature enables in Android TV.

My question: can i create an android TV project, and support the Picture-in-picture feature in and android mobile device running android 7.0?


Solution

  • No, you can't. The 1st Android version supporting PIP is 8.0.
