Empirical study on functional defects in multi-window Android systems
Sisi Chen · Applied and Computational Engineering · 2024
This study focuses on the performance, user experience, and security issues of mobile applications in the multi-window mode of the Android operating system. Using automated testing tools, the research evaluates the functionality of different types of applications in multi-window mode. The results indicate that most applications can run in the floating window and split-screen modes, while the picture-in-picture mode is primarily used in video and conferencing applications. However, the floating window mode has multiple window limitations, the picture-in-picture mode has functional restrictions, and the split-screen mode encounters interface adaptation issues. Security-related applications employ a black screen protection mechanism, but face limitations in screenshot operations. The researchers advocate for further research and improvements in the multi-window mode to enhance user experience and security.
