[0045] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

[0046] The method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to the display control scenario of the application activity interface on the electronic device.

[0047] The application display method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be performed by an electronic device, wherein the electronic device can be any device that includes a display device and a touch device and uses electronic components and technologies to perform specific functions or tasks. For example, in the exemplary embodiments described below, the electronic device can be referred to as a terminal, a mobile terminal, a smart terminal, etc. The electronic device can also be referred to as a user equipment (User Equipment, UE), a mobile station (Mobile Station, MS), etc. For example, a handheld device with a touch display function, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. For example, examples of electronic devices may include: mobile phones, tablet computers, laptops, PDAs, mobile Internet devices (Mobile Internet Devices, MID), wearable devices, virtual reality (Virtual Reality, VR) devices, augmented reality (Augmented Reality, AR) devices, smart distribution network equipment, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in unmanned driving, etc.

[0048] In today's electronic device application scenarios, user needs are increasingly diverse, and an application often needs to start multiple active interfaces to meet the needs of different scenarios. In this case, it is not easy to conveniently display multiple active interfaces of an application on a device.

[0049] In the related art, although there is a method of displaying two active interfaces on a split screen, the control logic is complex and the screen utilization rate is still not high.

[0050] Activity is the display component of the application and the carrier of data display. It is also the interface for user visual display and behavior control. In the application, an Activity can be used to represent an activity interface. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a split-screen display method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1As shown, in the related technology, the display area of ​​the sub-area is directly mapped to the activity interface Activity, the Activity can only be displayed in a limited area of ​​the screen, and the size of the activity interface is adjusted by directly setting a display border for the Activity. Directly operating the Activity display border is likely to cause interface display abnormalities.

[0051] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an application display method. When an electronic device displays an application display interface, an operation of displaying multiple active interfaces can be triggered, so that multiple active interfaces of the same application are displayed in the application display interface.

[0052] Figure 2 is a flowchart of an application display method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes steps S11 to S12.

[0053] In step S11, in response to the electronic device displaying an application display interface, an operation of triggering display of an active interface in the application display interface is detected.

[0054] In step S12, in response to detecting an operation of triggering display of multiple activity interfaces, multiple activity interfaces are displayed in the application display interface based on the operation of displaying multiple activity interfaces.

[0055] When the electronic device displays the application display interface, the user may trigger an operation to display multiple activity interfaces, for example, triggering an operation to enter a detail interface from an application navigation interface, etc. In response to detecting such an operation to trigger the display of multiple activity interfaces, multiple activity interfaces may be displayed in the application display interface based on the operation to display multiple activity interfaces.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when an electronic device displays an application display interface, an operation that triggers the display of multiple activity interfaces is detected. Based on the operation of displaying the multiple activity interfaces, multiple activity interfaces of the same application can be displayed in the application display interface, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the electronic device screen and enhancing the user experience.

[0057] In one embodiment, in response to detecting a first operation that triggers display of a second activity interface of a first application in a first activity interface of a first application display interface, the first activity interface and the second activity interface are displayed in different display areas of the first application display interface.

[0058] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing a second activity interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3As shown, a first operation that triggers display of a second activity interface of a first application is detected in a first activity interface of a first application display interface, and the first activity interface and the second activity interface are displayed in different display areas of the first application display interface. For example, when a user browses information in the overview interface (first activity interface) of an application, he or she may need to view specific details in depth. By performing an operation in the first activity interface to trigger display of the detail interface (second activity interface), the first activity interface and the second activity interface can be displayed in different display areas without leaving the overview interface.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first activity interface and the second activity interface are simultaneously displayed in different display areas of the display interface of the first application, providing users with more flexible and efficient interface interaction, which helps to improve the user's multitasking efficiency and device screen utilization.

[0060] In one embodiment, in response to detecting a second operation that triggers display of a third activity interface in the first activity interface or the second activity interface, the first activity interface, the second activity interface, and the third activity interface are displayed in different display areas of the first application display interface.

[0061] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a third activity interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the first activity interface, the second activity interface, and the third activity interface are displayed in different display areas of the display interface. For example, after a second operation such as clicking a control to trigger display of the third interface is performed in the first activity interface or the second activity interface, the first activity interface, the second activity interface, and the third activity interface are displayed in different display areas of the first application display interface.

[0062] In the disclosed embodiment, three different active interfaces are allowed to be displayed simultaneously in different display areas of the display interface of the first application, wherein the third active interface is triggered to be displayed in response to a second operation detected in the first active interface or the second active interface. This display method can improve multitasking efficiency, improve user experience, adapt to different workflows, and maximize screen utilization of large-screen devices, providing users with more flexible and efficient interface interaction.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first activity interface is displayed in the main display area, the second activity interface is displayed in the first sub-display area, and the third activity interface is displayed in the second sub-display area.

[0064] The display area of ​​the first application display interface includes a main display area, a first sub-display area and a second sub-display area, and the display area of ​​the first application display interface is a display area of ​​a task stack of the first application.

[0065] An application may have multiple activity interfaces, and these activities are managed in the form of task stacks. When we open a new activity or return, it will cause the activity to be pushed into or out of the stack.

[0066] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing a task stack display according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the application activity interface (Activity) can be displayed in the area defined by the task stack (Task) without being directly mapped to the screen.

[0067] In the disclosed embodiment, the Task area can be divided into three sub-areas, and three sub-containers TaskFragment are created at the same time, each TaskFragment occupies a sub-area of ​​the Task. Each TaskFragment sub-container can contain one or more Activities (the Activity display area in the same TaskFragment is the same).

[0068] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing a display area of ​​a first application display interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the display area of ​​the task stack of the first application can be divided into three sub-areas: a main display area, a first sub-display area, and a second sub-display area.

[0069] In one embodiment, an area occupied by the main display area in the first application display interface is greater than or equal to an area occupied by any one of the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area in the first application display interface.

[0070] Among them, the first active interface of the application is the main interface of the application, which can be used to display the application overview information. Therefore, the first active interface can be displayed in the main display area, and the subsequently launched active interface can be displayed in the secondary display area. In addition, during the application display, the first active page of the main interface remains unchanged, so that the user does not need to leave the first active interface, and can access the required detailed information more quickly without having to switch back and forth.

[0071] In one embodiment, after the application is started, the interface in which the display element View in the first active interface is greater than a set threshold can be used as the first active interface and displayed in the main display area. Wherein, View is a component of Activity and is used to draw the user interface. View can be a button, text box, image, etc., which can be laid out and combined in Activity.

[0072] In one embodiment, the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area may be divided in the following manner: the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area occupy the same area in the first application display interface.

[0073] Fig. 7A is a schematic diagram showing a method of dividing a display area according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 7A As shown, a first operation that triggers display of a second activity interface is detected in the first activity interface, and the first activity interface and the second activity interface are displayed in different display areas of the first application display interface.

[0074] After a second operation is performed in the first activity interface or the second activity interface to trigger display of the third interface, the first activity interface, the second activity interface and the third activity interface are displayed in the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area respectively. The main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area occupy the same area in the first application display interface.

[0075] In one embodiment, the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area can also be divided in the following manner: the main display area is half of the first application display interface, and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area are the other half of the first application display interface.

[0076] Figure 7B is a schematic diagram showing another way of dividing a display area according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7B As shown, a first operation that triggers display of a second activity interface is detected in the first activity interface, and the first activity interface and the second activity interface are displayed in different display areas of the first application display interface.

[0077] After the second operation of triggering the display of the third interface is performed in the first activity interface or the second activity interface, the first activity interface, the second activity interface and the third activity interface are displayed in the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area respectively. Among them, the main display area is half of the first application display interface, and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area are the other half of the first application display interface. For example, the main display area occupies the left half of the first application display interface, and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area divide the right half equally from top to bottom.

[0078] In one embodiment, different methods of dividing display areas can be automatically configured by the device system according to the characteristics of the application activity interface, or can be customized by the user according to the characteristics of the application activity interface. Different area division methods can be configured for different applications.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first application display interface is divided into a main display area, a first secondary display area, and a second secondary display area. You can choose the most suitable layout according to your own preferences or according to different tasks and workflows. This helps to maximize the screen utilization of the device and improve the user experience.

[0080] In one embodiment, in response to starting a fourth active interface through an active interface in the main display area, the active interface in one of the first secondary display area or the second secondary display area is replaced with the fourth active interface.

[0081] Fig. 8A is a schematic diagram showing a fourth activity interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 8A As shown, the first activity interface, the second activity interface and the third activity interface are started and displayed in the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area of ​​the first application display interface respectively. Among them, the main display area and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area equally divide the first application display interface.

[0082] At this time, by starting the fourth active interface through the active interface in the main display area, the active interface in the first secondary display area can be replaced with the fourth active interface and displayed. Furthermore, if the sixth active interface is started through the active interface in the main display area, the active interface in the second secondary display area can be replaced with the sixth active interface and displayed in the alternating order of the secondary display areas.

[0083] Figure 8B is a schematic diagram showing another display of a fourth activity interface according to an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 8B As shown, the first activity interface, the second activity interface and the third activity interface are started and displayed in the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area of ​​the first application display interface, respectively. The main display area occupies the left half of the first application display interface, and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area divide the right half equally from top to bottom.

[0084] At this time, by starting the fourth active interface through the active interface in the main display area, the active interface in the first secondary display area can be replaced with the fourth active interface and displayed. Furthermore, if the sixth active interface is started through the active interface in the main display area, the active interface in the second secondary display area can be replaced with the sixth active interface and displayed in the alternating order of the secondary display areas.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by operating on the active interface in the main display area, the fourth active interface can be started, and the active interface in the main display area remains unchanged, and the new active interface is alternately displayed in the secondary display area. In this way, the efficiency of multitasking and the screen utilization of the device can be improved, and the user experience can be improved.

[0086] In one embodiment, in response to starting the fifth active interface through the active interface in the first sub-display area or the second sub-display area, the active interface in the other sub-display area is replaced with the fifth active interface, and the other sub-display area is a sub-display area different from the display area from which the fifth active interface is started.

[0087] Fig.9A is a schematic diagram showing a fifth activity interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig.9A As shown, the first activity interface, the second activity interface and the third activity interface are started and displayed in the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area of ​​the first application display interface respectively. Among them, the main display area and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area equally divide the first application display interface.

[0088] At this time, the fifth active interface is started through the active interface in the first secondary display area, and the active interface in the second secondary display area can be replaced with the fifth active interface and displayed.

[0089] Fig. 9B is a schematic diagram showing another display of a fifth activity interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 9B As shown, the first activity interface, the second activity interface and the third activity interface are started and displayed in the main display area, the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area of ​​the first application display interface, respectively. The main display area occupies the left half of the first application display interface, and the first sub-display area and the second sub-display area divide the right half equally from top to bottom.

[0090] At this time, the fifth active interface is started through the active interface in the second secondary display area, and the active interface in the first secondary display area can be replaced with the fifth active interface and displayed.

[0091] In the disclosed embodiment, the fifth activity interface is started through the activity interface in the secondary display area. This method of alternately displaying new activity interfaces between the two secondary display areas while keeping the activity interface in the primary display area unchanged allows the user to access other related information or perform other operations without leaving the primary activity, thereby improving the user experience, especially the user experience on large-screen devices.

[0092] In one embodiment, the display position and size of the active interface on the screen are controlled by adjusting the position and size of the display area of ​​the first application display interface.

[0093] By adjusting the position and size of the first application display interface of the upper interface of the active interface, the display position and size of the active interface on the screen can be changed accordingly, without having to set the size of the display border for each active interface, thereby avoiding display abnormalities.

[0094] For example, Fig.10 is a schematic diagram showing a control activity interface according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig.10 As shown, the position and size of the display area of ​​the first application display interface can be controlled so that the active interface fills up or occupies the device screen.

[0095] In the disclosed embodiment, the position and size of the display interface of the first application are adjusted so that the active interface can adapt to different screen sizes and layouts. This helps to ensure that the active interface can be properly displayed on both large-screen devices and small-screen devices. At the same time, by dynamically adjusting the position and size of the display area, the problem of needing to set the display border size for each active interface is avoided. This helps to eliminate potential display anomalies or misalignment problems and improves the user experience.

[0096] The present disclosure embodiment will now illustrate the above-mentioned application display method with reference to examples. In the following examples, Activity is used as the application activity interface.

[0097] In the related art, there is a display mode that supports parallel windows or parallel horizons, that is, two active interfaces of an application are displayed on the screen at the same time, and each active interface divides the display area of ​​the entire screen in proportion. However, there is currently no solution that can display three active interfaces at the same time.

[0098] Moreover, the above-mentioned technical solutions all divide the entire screen into two display areas and set a border for each activity interface displayed in the two areas to limit the final display size of the activity interface. The limit border is set on the activity itself (Activity) or the container of the activity (TaskFragment). The activity can only be displayed in a limited area of ​​the screen, and directly operating the activity display border is likely to cause the interface to display abnormally.

[0099] In view of this, the embodiment of the present disclosure, in combination with the above-mentioned application display method, adopts a method that can divide the screen into three display areas, each display area displays an active interface of the application.

[0100] Fig.11AIt is a schematic diagram showing an application display method according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 11B is a schematic diagram showing yet another application display method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0101] like Fig.11A and 11B As shown, the area of ​​the activity stack Task is divided into three sub-areas, and three sub-containers TaskFragment are created at the same time. Each TaskFragment occupies a sub-area of ​​the Task. Each TaskFragment sub-container can hold one or more Activities (the Activities in the same TaskFragment have the same display area). The three TaskFragment sub-containers can display three different Activities at the same time. Moreover, by adjusting the display area of ​​the top-level Task, the display area of ​​the three Activities can be controlled to either fill the device screen or not, and can be flexibly displayed in different areas of the screen.

[0102] The placement of TaskFragment sub-containers in a Task can be flexibly allocated. For example, for an activity interface that needs to be displayed vertically, three TaskFragment sub-containers are placed from left to right, each occupying 1 / 3 of the Task. For an activity interface that can be resized arbitrarily, one TaskFragment occupies the left half of the Task, and the other two TaskFragments divide the right half of the Task equally from top to bottom.

[0103] In one embodiment, Task can be divided into the main display area, sub-display area 1 and sub-display area 2. The first activity interface of a general application is the main interface, which displays some overview content. In order to ensure that the main interface is always displayed, this solution sets the first TaskFragment as the main display area, which only displays the main activity interface, and the other two TaskFragments are sub-display areas. The activity interfaces started later are displayed in the two sub-display areas in turn.

[0104] In one embodiment, in the initial state of the application, only active interface 1 is started, and then active interface 2 is started by clicking an icon, button, etc. The two active interfaces are displayed on the screen at the same time, with active interface 1 displayed in the main display area on the left and active interface 2 displayed in the secondary display area on the right.

[0105] Then, the activity interface 1 or the activity interface 2 starts another activity interface 3. Three activity interfaces can be displayed on the screen at the same time, including at least the following two display modes:

[0106] The entire screen is divided into three equal display areas from left to right, with active interface 1 displayed in the main display area on the far left, and active interface 2 and active interface 3 displayed in the two sub-display areas on the right.

[0107] The left half of the screen is the main display area, displaying active interface 1, and the right half of the screen is divided into two sub-display areas arranged vertically, displaying active interface 2 and active interface 3 respectively.

[0108] Among them, the two display modes can be configured separately, but only one display will be set for the same application at the same time.

[0109] When the activity interface 4 or the activity interface 5 is started again, it will only be displayed alternately in the two secondary display areas and will not occupy the main display area.
