This application is filed based upon and claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202010621754.4, filed on Jun. 30, 2020, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of interface displaying, including to an application program display method and device, and a storage medium.
Along with the development of sciences and technologies, devices with screens have been applied more and more extensively. However, an existing system program only supports screen splitting for different applications and cannot meet some special requirements of a user, for example, a screen splitting operation for different activity components in an application cannot be implemented, resulting in poor user experience.
According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, an application program display method is provided which may be applied to a terminal including a screen. The method can include determining whether an application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting. Further, in response to the activity-component-based in-application screen splitting being supported and a screen splitting operation being detected, a first interface of the application program is displayed according to a first activity component of the application program, and a second interface of the application program is displayed according to a second activity component of the application program at same time of displaying the first interface. Both a display area of the first interface and a display area of the second interface can be less than a display area of the screen.
According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, an application program display device is provided. The device can include a screen, a processor, and a memory that is configured to store instructions executable by the processor. The processor may be configured to implement the steps in any application program display method provided in the first aspect of the embodiments.
According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided. The instructions in the storage medium can be executed by a processor of a mobile terminal to cause the mobile terminal to execute any application program display method provided in the first aspect of the embodiments.
It is to be understood that the above general descriptions and detailed descriptions below are only exemplary and explanatory and not intended to limit the present disclosure.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate exemplary embodiments consistent with the present disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
At step S11, whether an application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined. An existing terminal system only supports screen splitting for different applications and cannot meet some special requirements of a user. For example, a screen splitting operation for different activity components in an application cannot be implemented. When an activity component is started, a present activity component may be destroyed, and the activity component that is presently started may be displayed in a full-screen manner and may not be displayed at the same time with the previous activity component. For example, a native flow for Android may allow full-screen displaying of only one activity component, when another activity component is started, the present activity component may be destroyed, and in such case, the two activity components cannot be displayed at the same time.
However, more and more application software consists of multiple activity components at present, and thus simultaneous split-screen displaying of a main activity component and a sub activity component may undoubtedly bring great convenience to the user. Therefore, the present disclosure provides the application program display method. When an activity component is started, a present activity component may not be destroyed, an interface corresponding to the present activity component is kept in a display state, and interfaces corresponding to the two activity components may be displayed at the same time.
Herein, the activity component can be a visual interface for operations of the user. It provides a window for the user to complete an operation instruction and provides an interaction entry for the user to interact with the user. An application program may include no or multiple activity components. For example, an application program that runs in background and may not provide a user interface for the user may include zero activity component.
Screen splitting in an application can be applied to an application program with multiple activity components, and areas of all interfaces corresponding to the multiple activity components of the application program are less than an area of the screen, or, the areas of the display interfaces corresponding to the activity components corresponding to the application program may be adjusted. The application program of the embodiment may be any application program, such as a chat application, a payment application, a news application, a browser application or the like, installed in a device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted display terminal, a television or the like.
In the embodiments, whether the application program to be started supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined at first, that is, whether multiple activity components in the application program may be displayed at the same time on the screen when the application program is used.
In a further embodiment, the method can include, when an operating system of the terminal is started, a configuration file of supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is loaded in a system memory, and the configuration file records information of an application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting. The information, recorded in the configuration file, of the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting may include an identifier of the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting; that is, a specific application that may support activity-component-based in-application screen splitting in the terminal. For example, an application A, an application B and an application C support activity-component-based in-application screen splitting.
The information recorded in the configuration file may further include a display area of an interface corresponding to an activity component of the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting. For example, when the application is started, a display area of an interface corresponding to a main activity component that is displayed at first is equal to a display area of the screen; or, the display area of the interface corresponding to the main activity component that is displayed at first is less than the display area of the screen.
The information recorded in the configuration file may further include a display area of an interface corresponding to each activity component when multiple activity components of the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting are displayed at the same time. The display areas of the interfaces corresponding to the multiple activity components may be less than or equal to the area of the whole screen. For example, after the application is started, during in-application screen splitting, a display area of the interface corresponding to one activity component is ⅓ of the display area of the screen, and a display area of the interface corresponding to another activity component is ⅔ of the display area of the screen.
The information recorded in the configuration file may further include a display region of each activity component when the multiple activity components of the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting are displayed at the same time. For example, after the application is started, the display region of the main activity component that is displayed at first is an upper part of the screen or a left side of the screen; and during in-application screen splitting, the display region of one activity component is an upper half region of the screen, and the display region of another activity component is a lower half region of the screen, as illustrated in
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration file may be a system-level configuration file, and when the application program is installed in the terminal, the operating system reads a configuration file or installation file of the application program to record information of the application program supporting in-application screen splitting in the system-level configuration file. The configuration file of the application program may include, but is not limited to, a manifest.xml file. For example, the manifest.xml file of the application program supporting in-application screen splitting is different from a manifest file of an application program which does not support in-application screen splitting.
Furthermore, a specific implementation flow of the operation at S11 that whether the application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined includes: when the application program is started, the configuration file is queried to determine whether the application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting.
Exemplarily, when the application A is started, the configuration file is queried to determine whether the application A supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting. If the configuration file records an identifier of the application A supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting, it is determined that the application A supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting. It is unnecessary to access each application for confirmation, such that a response speed of the program may be increased.
Herein, querying of the configuration file and starting of the application program are executed concurrently, and querying and starting are implemented without mutual interferences, such that a starting speed of the application program may not be influenced. In addition, compared with analyzing a program package of the application program to determine whether the application program supports in-application screen splitting, querying the configuration file has the advantage that the determination efficiency is higher.
Optionally, the operation that the configuration file of supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is loaded in the system memory when the operating system of the terminal is started includes: when the operating system of the terminal is started, according to the configuration file, identification information of the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is recorded in the system memory, and display areas of interfaces corresponding to multiple activity components in the application program are set.
Herein, the identification information of the application program may be a name of the application program, a serial number (SN) of the application program, or the like.
The display areas of the interfaces corresponding to the multiple activity components in the application program may include: the display area of the interface corresponding to the activity component when screen splitting is not executed after the application is started, and the display area of the interface corresponding to each activity component during in-application screen splitting.
Exemplarily, when the operating system of the terminal is started, according to the configuration file, position information of the application A, application B and application C supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting in the operating system is recorded in the system memory, and display areas of interfaces corresponding to multiple activity components in the application A, display areas of interfaces corresponding to multiple activity components in the application B and display areas of interfaces corresponding to multiple activity components in the application C are set.
Recording the identification information of the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting in the configuration file may pre-determine the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting and make it unnecessary to confirm whether each application supports screen splitting when screen splitting is required, such that screen splitting response time is saved. After the application supporting in-application screen splitting is determined, the display areas of the interfaces corresponding to the multiple activity components in the application program are set, and the user does not need to set a display area of each display interface, such that operation time is saved for the user.
Optionally, when the terminal is in a landscape state or a portrait state, whether the application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined. In the embodiments, when the terminal is in both the landscape state and the portrait state, screen splitting may be executed, whether the application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting may be determined, and when it is determined that in-application screen splitting may be executed, the user may operate a first interface for a screen splitting operation when the terminal is in the portrait or landscape state, such that user experience is improved.
Optionally, split-screen displaying is performed on the interfaces corresponding to the multiple activity components according to a screen splitting configuration in the terminal, and the screen splitting configuration is configured to indicate an application scenario of in-application screen splitting. For example, the screen splitting operation is executed in the landscape state, and the screen splitting operation may also be executed in the portrait state. Or, the screen splitting operation is executed in any application scenario of the terminal. The application scenario of in-application screen splitting of the terminal is not limited in the embodiments.
In addition, the screen splitting configuration of the embodiments may be adjusted according to a user input. The user may set the application scenario of the terminal during in-application screen splitting according to an own using habit, for example, setting the application scenario of in-application screen splitting of the terminal to be the portrait state. If the user does not adjust, in-application screen splitting may be executed by default when the terminal is in the landscape state.
In an embodiment, the method can include that whether the terminal is in the landscape state is determined.
Furthermore, a specific implementation flow of the operation at S11 that whether the started application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined includes, when the terminal is in the landscape state, whether the started application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined.
In the landscape state of the screen, a size of the display interface in a horizontal direction is relatively large. Correspondingly, in the screen splitting state, a display size of the display interface corresponding to each activity component is large and more consistent with a browsing or operating habit of the user, such that user experience may be improved. Therefore, in the embodiments, whether the terminal is in the landscape state may be determined at first, and when the terminal is in the landscape state, whether the started application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined.
At step S12, when the activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is supported and a screen splitting operation is detected, a first interface of the application program is displayed according to a first activity component of the application program, and a second interface of the application program is displayed according to a second activity component of the application program at same time of displaying the first interface, both a display area of the first interface and a display area of the second interface being less than a display area of the screen.
Herein, the first interface may be an interface displayed on the screen at first according to the first activity component of the application program when the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is started. For example, if the chat application A supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting, when the application A is started, a chat list of the application A is displayed on the screen at first, and a display interface of the chat list is the first interface.
The first interface may also be an interface displayed according the first activity component of the application program and including multiple links after the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is started. For example, if a browser B supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting, when the browser B is started, a search interface of the browser B is displayed on the screen at first, a list about information a is loaded when the information a is searched, and a list interface about the information a is the first interface and may also be called a main interface of the browser B.
The second interface may be an interface popped up when an operation is executed on the first interface after the application program supporting activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is started. For example, if the chat application A supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting, when the application A is started, the chat list of the application A is displayed on the screen at first, then the user required to communicate with B in the chat list execute a chat operation on the chat list, and a chat box that is popped up may be the second interface and may also be called a sub interface of the application A. In such case, the chat list and the chat box are displayed on the screen at the same time, and the user may operate the chat list and the chat box at the same time. For example, the user enters and browses the circle of friends from the bottom of the interface of the chat list and may also chat with a friend through the chat box at the same time.
For another example, if the browser B supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting, when the browser B is started, “MIUI phone” is searched in the search interface of the browser B to display an information list about “MIUI phone”, the information list is the first interface, a link in the first interface is clicked to pop up an information box corresponding to the link, and the information box may be the second interface and may also be called a sub interface of the browser B. The user may browser other information about “MIUI phone” in the first interface at the same time, and meanwhile, may also check specific information about “MIUI phone” in the second interface.
In addition, both the display area of the first interface and the display area of the second interface are less than the display area of the screen, such that the first interface and the second interface may be displayed on the screen at the same time, the condition that the second interface covers part of contents of the first interface or the first interface covers part of contents of the second interface may be avoided, the user may view two complete interfaces at the same time, and the user experience is improved.
In addition, a specific action of the screen splitting operation is not limited in the embodiments. The screen splitting operation may be an operation trajectory acting on the first interface, the second interface is popped up on the first interface according to the operation trajectory, a display content of the second interface may be the same as or different from a display content of the first interface, and the user may operate the two display interfaces at the same time.
The screen splitting operation may also be a clicking operation acting on the first interface, and if information corresponding to a clicking position is linked with information of another interface, the second interface is displayed according to the second activity component.
In the embodiments, whether the application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined at first, and when the activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is supported, simultaneous displaying of different activity components in the same application is implemented, such that the user, when using an application including many activity components, may start another interface without returning to a main interface from a sub interface to implement in-application screen splitting, and great conveniences and good user experience may be brought.
In an embodiment, a specific implementation flow of the operation at step S12 that the first interface of the application program is displayed according to the first activity component of the application program includes: the first interface of the application program is displayed in a center of the screen according to the first activity component.
Exemplarily, when the terminal is in the landscape state, whether the started application program supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is determined. When the activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is supported, the first interface of the application program is displayed in the center of the screen according to the first activity component of the application program. In such case, the user may be prompted that the application program supports in-application screen splitting, and the user performs an operation on the first interface to implement split-screen displaying of the first interface and the second interface in the application, such that the user experience is improved.
Optionally, the method further includes: after the application program is started, the first interface is displayed; and the screen splitting operation acting on the first interface is detected.
Exemplarily, when the activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is supported, the first interface of the application program may be displayed in the center of the screen according to the first activity component of the application program, and the first interface of the application program may also be displayed in a full-screen manner on the screen. If the user only browses the first interface and does not click any link in the first interface or the second interface is not required, that is, the screen splitting operation acting on the first interface is not detected, the second interface does not need to be displayed according to the second activity component, to avoid unnecessary troubles caused by misoperations to the user. Only when the screen splitting operation acting on the first interface is detected, the second interface is displayed according to the second activity component to provide split-screen displaying for the user, such that great conveniences are brought, and user experience is improved.
In an embodiment, a specific implementation flow of the operation at S12 that the first interface is displayed after the application program is started includes: the first interface is displayed in the center of the screen according to the first activity component of the application program, the display area of the first interface being less than the area of the screen.
For example, as illustrated in
For another example, when the terminal is in the landscape state and the activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is supported, the first interface of the application program is displayed in the center of the screen according to the first activity component of the application program, the display area of the first interface being less than the area of the screen. In such case, the user may be prompted that the application program supports in-application screen splitting, such that non-responded operations of the user may be avoided.
In an embodiment, a specific implementation flow of the operation at step S12 that the first interface is displayed after the application program is started includes: after the application program is started, the first interface is displayed in a full-screen manner.
When the activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is supported, the first interface of the application program is displayed in the full-screen manner on the screen according to the first activity component of the application program, such that the user may conveniently perform an operation on the first interface. In addition, the first interface is displayed in the full-screen manner, such that a browsing view of the user for the application program is larger, the interface includes more viewable information, sliding operations of the user are reduced, the efficiency of using the application program is improved, and user experience in using the terminal is improved.
Furthermore, a specific implementation flow at step S12 can include that, when the activity-component-based in-application screen splitting is supported and the screen splitting operation is detected, the displayed first interface is reduced based on the first activity component, and the second interface of the application program is displayed according to the second activity component of the application program at the same time of displaying the first interface.
When the application program is started, the first interface is displayed in the full-screen manner, and the application supports activity-component-based in-application screen splitting, such that the displayed first interface is automatically reduced based on the first activity component when the screen splitting operation is detected. In such a manner, the second interface of the application program may be displayed according to the second activity component of the application program at the same time of displaying the first interface, that is, the two interfaces may be displayed on the screen at the same time, the condition that the second interface covers part of contents of the first interface or the first interface covers part of contents of the second interface may be avoided, the user may view two complete interfaces at the same time, and the user experience is improved.
In an embodiment, a specific implementation flow of the operation at step S12 that the second interface of the application program is displayed at the same time of displaying the first interface includes the first interface is moved to a first region of the screen for displaying according to the detected screen splitting operation acting on the first interface, and the second interface is displayed in a second region according to the second activity component of the application program, the first region and the second region being two parallel regions on the screen.
For example, the first interface is moved to an upper half screen of the screen for displaying according to the detected screen splitting operation acting on the first interface, and the second interface is displayed on a lower half screen of the screen according to the second activity component of the application program. For another example, the first interface is moved to a left half screen of the screen for displaying according to the detected screen splitting operation acting on the first interface, and the second interface is displayed on a right half screen of the screen according to the second activity component of the application program.
Display regions of interfaces may be preset to reduce operations of the user over display areas and interface positions of the interfaces and improve the screen splitting operation efficiency. Moreover, displaying in two parallel regions on the screen is more consistent with the browsing habit of the user and improves the user experience.
Optionally, display positions of the two interfaces may also be controlled to switch the activity components in the embodiments. For example, if the user does not need to switch the activity component corresponding to the second interface to be a main activity component, an operation such as link clicking or querying may be executed on the second interface to switch the second interface on the right half screen to the left half screen and switch the first interface on the left half screen to the right half screen. In such case, the activity component corresponding to the second interface is switched to be the main activity component, the user may execute another operation on the second interface, and the first interface is only configured for browsing or viewing, and the like.
In further embodiments, positions of the display regions of the first and second interfaces may also be exchanged or changed by an operation of the user, that is, the user may exchange or change the display region of the first interface and the display region of the second interface according to the browsing habit. For example, the first interface is moved to the upper half screen of the screen for displaying according to the detected screen splitting operation acting on the first interface, and the second interface is displayed on the lower half screen of the screen according to the second activity component of the application program. The user moves the first interface to the left half screen of the screen for displaying and moves the second interface to the right half screen of the screen for displaying.
Exemplarily, referring to
At step S21, a system is started and reads an activity-component-based screen splitting configuration file.
At step S22, an application supporting activity-component-based screen splitting and a size of an activity component are recorded in the system.
At step S23, an activity component is started from a desktop.
At step S24, if a started application supports activity-component-based screen splitting and a device is in a landscape state, S25 is executed, otherwise operations are ended.
At step S25, a central activity component size recorded in the system is acquired, and a main interface of the application is displayed in the center.
At step S26, a sub interface is clicked in the main interface.
At step S27, the main interface is not suspended and is still visible, and recorded sizes of the main interface and the sub interface are acquired from the system.
At step S28, the main interface is displayed on a left half screen, and the sub interface is displayed on a right half screen.
The main interface may correspondingly be the first interface, and the sub interface may correspondingly be the second interface.
