📄 Description

LG "Dual Window" mode

LG_Dual_Window_on_smartphone

In the same vein as the support for Samsung "Multi Window" mode, this adds support for LG "Dual Window" mode (for Android < 7.0 users).

Context

Long before Android natively supported multi-window management with Android 7.0, LG had launched its system. This PR allows Bitwarden to be compatible with this system, which can be used on some tablets but also on some large screen smartphones from the LG brand.

About it

This PR adds Bitwarden to the list of compatible apps, allowing it to be used in split-screen mode. That is, typically, left or right for tablet, top or bottom for smartphone. Just press and hold the Bitwarden icon (located in the dedicated area) and drag and drop it to the desired side of the screen.

🎬 See these two videos from AT&T for use:

Remark

👉 Having neither LG tablet nor LG smartphone compatible with "Dual Window" mode allowing me to test this, any feedback is welcome. Although LG has made it as simple as possible to implement (only one line of code to add).
