Multi-window on the Nexus 9

[VolMan37421]

Does the Nexus 9 support having multiple applications open and viewable at the same time like the Galaxy tablets do? If so, how do you make that happen? I may just be missing it, but I can't find how to do that if it exsists.

Thanks for the help!

Nope. It's a Samsung-only thing at the moment.

Thanks Phil. I was afraid that was the case. I appreciate the confirmation.

That's the one thing I like about the Samsung Touchwiz. I don't like it enough to want the rest of it though. Hopefully multi window will come to stock android soon.

If I'm not mistaken, LG has "dual window", which accomplishes the same thing, right?

No that is not a feature, but if you just need browsing or media you can try Gplayer and associated browser.

There is a rumor that Google has multi window support in the works for a future version of Android.

Android M should support multi-windows mode. Let's wait for Android M

There are few "floating" apps out there. I have used Hovernote a lot, which is a small note app. I have also seen browsers, calculators etc. Sony has also adopted this and offers a few small apps as apart of their phones. My Xperia Z3 came with a timer, a webbrowser, a calculator and a "touch block" and a "take a screenshot" thing. Haven't used it yet, but it's there
