ttencate opened a new issue #799: App is restarted on split-screen
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/799
 
 
   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   
   App keeps running in split screen, just resized.
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   
   Activity is restarted.
   
   ## Information
   <!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and reproduce the problem -->
   
   ### Command or Code
   <!-- What command or code is needed to reproduce the problem? -->
   
   Press and hold the "square" button on any modern Android device to trigger split screen mode. Notice how the Cordova app is restarted.
   
   This is fixed if I add the following to my `config.xml`:
   
       <edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml" target="/manifest/application/activity[@android:name='MainActivity']" mode="merge">
         <activity android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|uiMode" />
       </edit-config>
   
   This is the default list of `configChanges` with `|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|uiMode` appended. See docs: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#config
   
   I propose that at least `smallestScreenSize|screenLayout` are added to the default `AndroidManifest.xml`. `uiMode` is not necessary to fix this issue, but should maybe be in the default list as well.
   
   ### Environment, Platform, Device
   <!-- In what environment, on what platform or on which device are you experiencing the issue? -->
   
   Android 7.1.2
   
   ### Version information
   <!-- 
   What are relevant versions you are using?
   For example:
   Cordova: Cordova CLI, Cordova Platforms, Cordova Plugins 
   Other Frameworks: Ionic Framework and CLI version
   Operating System, Android Studio, Xcode etc.
   -->
   
   Cordova 9.0.0  
   Cordova Android 8.0.0
