PiP Mode (Picture-in-picture)

100ms Android SDK provides support for creating Picture in Picture mode experience for video calls.

Minimum Requirements

• Minimum version required to support PiP is Android 8.0 (API level 26)

How to add PiP support

1. You need to update the activity tag in the AndroidManifest.xml

        <activity
            ....
            android:supportsPictureInPicture="true"
            android:configChanges="screenSize|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|orientation"
            ... />

2. Pip mode resizes your whole activity to a small conatiner. Inorder to show elements in PiP you would like to hide the visibility of views you don't want to show.

    //To launch pip-mode you can call this
    activity.enterPictureInPictureMode()
    //Optionally you can pass in params to have it in a particular aspect ratio. more info [https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/picture-in-picture]

3. Once you enter pip mode, you'll recieve a callback. Over there you can put your own custom logic, to show which custom video tracks should be visibile while in PiP. To hide videos while in PiP you can call videoTrack.removeSink(surfaceViewRender)

   override fun onPictureInPictureModeChanged(isInPictureInPictureMode: Boolean) {
    ...
    //hiding views for pip/non-pip layout !
    if (isInPictureInPictureMode) {
      //add logic here to show video tracks which would be visible
      supportActionBar?.hide()
    } else {
      //add logic here to restore video tracks here
      supportActionBar?.show()
    }
  }
