   Just noting that I'm able to reproduce this Android 9. While in multi-window, it seems like the webview restarts everytime the window is resized. Personally in my apps, I would like to be able to disable multi-window... but I feel like this is a feature that should be disabled by default especially if it doesn't work out of the box.
   
   I'll post some information below that might be helpful. I may tackle this over the weekend if time permits.
   
   Android documentation about multi-window can be found [here](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/multi-window)
   
   Specifically the `resizableActivity` attribute docs can be found [here](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/multi-window#resizeableActivity)
   
   There are two important bits of information...
   
   >  If this value is false, and the user attempts to launch the activity in multi-window mode, the activity takes over the full screen.
   
   So `android:resizableActivity="false"` _should_ work...
   
   > Note: If you build a multi-orientation app that targets API level 23 or lower, and the user uses the app in multi-window mode, the system forcibly resizes the app. The system presents a dialog box warning the user that the app may behave unexpectedly...
   
   But it sounds like it will only work if the target SDK is >= 24. The current master in cordova-android has target SDK set to 28 so we __should__ be safe there. But the behaviour @kamilSarapuk described appears to match this notice.
