The content of this view will be available only after the Activity root view is attached to the window. This happens because the implementation is based on Window Manager library and the Window Manager is working only when view is attached to the window.

FoldableFrameLayout is a FrameLayout that can wrap any Android view and render it differently when the application is running on foldable devices.

foldableDisplayPosition - Returns or sets a value that specifies how to align the child. Can be one of the three values:

  • DisplayPosition.START - the child is rendered on the start position.
  • DisplayPosition.END - the child is rendered on the end position.
  • DisplayPosition.DUAL - spanned across the screen (might appear under hinge).

START: tabs on the first screen

DisplayPosition.START

END: tabs on the first screen

DisplayPosition.END

DUAL: tabs on the first screen

DisplayPosition.DUAL

How to change the view's behavior

foldableFrameLayout.foldableDisplayPosition = DisplayPosition.START

The same can be obtained using the app:display_position attribute in conjunction with tool:tools_application_mode.
