Android Picture-in-picture mode, open another activity of my app


I have a video call activity and I am using pip mode for it. In pip mode, I try to open related chat activity using remote action. But when a startActivity is called from pip activity, the new activity is being opened in the pip screen too. But I do want to open the chat in our app, not in pip screen. Is it possible to start our own activity outside of the pip screen?


Solution

  • Adding taskAffinity solves my problem. You can see detail here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#aff
