Step S11, whether an application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window is determined.
In this step, a terminal device, after receiving a start instruction for an application program, determines whether an application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window. The start instruction for the application program can be sent through clicking the application program once or twice. The terminal device has a multi-window user scenario, and its operation system is Android system. Optionally, the terminal device includes a mobile phone or the like. Taking a mobile phone as an example, a multi-window user scenario is as shown in
In this embodiment, a free window mode is a kind of multi-window mode brought by the Android system, in the free window mode, free zooming and free moving of a Freeform window can be implemented. The Freeform window comprises characteristics of an Activity window, such as entire activity, window, focus, input, etc. In addition, the Freeform window can also be displayed above another application by operations such as opening, closing, or the like performed by a user. In the Android system, a difference between the Freeform window and a normal Activity window is that they are located in different Stacks of ActivityManager management service, and use different stacks to implement functional operations of displaying and scheduling.
Step S12, if the application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window, a display interface corresponding to a work task specified by the application program is acquired.
Wherein, the display interface herein refers to a display page of the application program, one application program usually includes a plurality of display pages. Taking the application program “Wechat” as an example, a chat window during chatting with a certain friend is a display interface, and opened “circle of friends” is also a display interface.
As another embodiment, if the application program to be currently started is displayed by a non-Freeform window manner, a display interface defaulted by the application program is acquired. In this embodiment, the display interface corresponding to a work task specified by the application program is usually different from the display interface defaulted by the application program.
Step S13, after the application program is started, the acquired display interface corresponding to the specified work task is displayed in a Freeform window as a display interface of the application program.
As another embodiment, if the display interface defaulted by the application program is acquired, the acquired defaulted display interface is displayed in the Freeform window as a display interface of the application program.
Furthermore, it needs to be further explained that in existing Android systems, there is no special processing for scenarios in which users use multi-window, and the operations are primitive and inconvenient for users to use quickly; inconvenience may be caused for quick operations, such as quickly entering and exiting, or the like of users, and fluency experience is also affected.
Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to solve the above problem, whether an application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window is determined; if the application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window, a display interface corresponding to a work task specified by the application program is acquired; and after the application program is started, the acquired display interface corresponding to the specified work task is displayed in a Freeform window as a display interface of the application program. Since the display interface corresponding to the specified work task is used as the display interface of the application program and displayed in the Freeform window, the user does not need to perform operations many times and can directly enter the display interface corresponding to the specified work task, such that the speed of entering the display interface corresponding to the specified work task is improved.
Step S31, whether an application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window is determined.
Step S32, if the application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window, a work task executed in the last time by the application program is acquired, and a display interface corresponding to the work task executed in the last time is used as a display interface corresponding to a specified work task.
In this step, the work task executed in the last time by the application program is usually a work task executed by the application program before exiting, at this time, a display interface when exiting the application program is a display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program; in this way, when the application program is started again, a display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program is used as a display interface corresponding to a specified work task.
Of course, after the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program is recorded, a display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program recorded in the previous time is deleted.
Step S33, after the application program is started, the acquired display interface corresponding to the specified work task is displayed in a Freeform window as a display interface of the application program.
In this embodiment, after a user starts the application program again, the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program can be observed in the Freeform window, and the user's intents of starting the application program in two adjacent times are usually the same, therefore, operations required when the user enters the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program is greatly reduced.
Optionally, the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program may be acquired by skipping from a display interface of another application program, and a display interface acquired by skipping from a display interface of another application program usually depends on a previous display interface; therefore, in order to be capable of displaying an accurate and effective display interface in the Freeform window when the application program is started again, prior to acquiring a work task executed in the last time by the application program, and using a display interface corresponding to the work task executed in the last time as a display interface corresponding to a specified work task, the following are included.
Whether the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program is acquired by skipping from a display interface of another application program is determined.
Correspondingly, acquiring a work task executed in the last time by the application program, and using a display interface corresponding to the work task executed in the last time as a display interface corresponding to a specified work task specifically includes the follows.
When determining that the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program is not acquired by skipping from a display interface of another application program, a display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program is acquired, and a display interface corresponding to the work task executed in the last time is used as a display interface corresponding to a specified work task.
For example, when a user opens a shopping site, a display interface of the shopping site will skip into a display interface of a paying application when paying; at this time, the display interface of the paying application is acquired by skipping from the display interface of the shopping site. In this embodiment, only when determining that the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program (e.g., the above paying application) is not acquired by skipping from a display interface of another application program, the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program (e.g., the above paying application) is acquired.
Optionally, the method for displaying an application program further comprises the follows.
If the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program is acquired by skipping from a display interface of another application program, a display interface before skipping is acquired, and the display interface before skipping is used as the display interface corresponding to the specified work task.
It needs to be explained that if there are a plurality of display interfaces before skipping, the acquired display interface before skipping can be any one display interface before skipping. Preferably, a display interface before the first skipping is acquired. For example, assuming skipping from a display interface A into a display interface B, and further skipping into a display interface C, the display interface A is selected as the display interface corresponding to the specified work task.
In order to describe the above method for acquiring a display interface more clearly, a specific application is described as an example below.
In this embodiment, one display interface corresponds to one activity, a group of skipped display interfaces correspond to one work task. In each task, the activities have sequence relationships, for example, assuming that a task A includes three activities: an activity D1, an activity D2, and an activity D3, and their sequences in the task is (D1, D2, D3), which represents that a display interface D1 skips into a display interface D2, and then the display interface D2 skips into a display interface D3. Of course, skipping between display interfaces needs to meet preset skipping conditions.
In this embodiment, assuming that the display interface corresponding to a work task executed in the last time by the application program corresponds to an activity D4, and the activity D4 is an independent display interface. When determining that the activity D4 is not acquired by skipping from another display interface, a display interface corresponding to the activity D4 is acquired, and the display interface corresponding to the activity D4 is used as the display interface corresponding to the specified work task. When determining that the activity D3 is acquired by skipping from another display interface (a display interface corresponding to the activity D2), the first display interface before skipping (a display interface corresponding to the activity D1) is acquired, and the display interface corresponding to the activity D1 is used as the display interface corresponding to the specified work task. Since the display interface corresponding to the specified work task is acquired according to dependence relationships between display interfaces, more accurate display interfaces can be acquired.
Optionally, if a user starts the same application program in a manner of at least two Freeform windows at the same time, and the terminal device determines that a difference between time points when the user closes the at least two Freeform windows is less than a preset time different threshold value, at this time, acquiring the display interface corresponding to the work task specified by the application program comprises the follows.
If the application program is displayed in a manner of at least two Freeform windows before the last exiting, a display interface on which a focus staying for the longest time is acquired, and the display interface on which a focus staying for the longest time is used as the display interface corresponding to the specified work task.
In this embodiment, the longer the time for a focus to stay on a display interface, the longer the time for a user to operate on the display interface; at this time, acquiring a display interface on which a focus staying for the longest time will be more accurate than acquiring a display interface on which a focus staying for shorter time.
Optionally, a display interface of which a size is the same as that of the application program opened in the previous time is displayed at the same position, such that a display interface of the application program opened in the previous time is restored as much as possible. At this time, if an application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window, a position of the application program in a screen when exiting in the last time and/or a size of a Freeform window corresponding to the application program when exiting in the last time are further acquired; correspondingly, the after the application program is started, displaying the acquired display interface corresponding to the specified work task in a Freeform window as a current display interface of the application program specifically comprises the follows.
After the application program is started, the acquired display interface corresponding to the specified work task is displayed in a Freeform window as a display interface of the application program, and a position of the Freeform window in a screen is the same as a position of the application program in the screen when exiting in the last time, and/or a size of the Freeform window is the same as a size of a Freeform window corresponding to the application program when exiting in the last time.
In this embodiment, the display interface corresponding to the specified work task displayed at the same position is located at a front end of the terminal device, and a current focus is located in a Freeform window displaying the display interface corresponding to the specified work task.
Optionally, after a user starts an application program again, he/she may not hope that the started application covers an opened application program. At this time, if an application program to be currently started is displayed by means of a Freeform window, a position of the application program in a screen when exiting in the last time and a size of a Freeform window corresponding to the application program when exiting in the last time are further acquired; correspondingly, the after the application program is started, displaying the acquired display interface corresponding to the specified work task in a Freeform window as a display interface of the application program specifically comprises the follows.
After the application program is started, whether a position of a Freeform window displayed on a current screen is the same as a position of the application program in the screen when exiting in the last time is determined; if they are the same, whether an area of the current screen that does not display any Freeform window is larger than or equal to a size of a Freeform window corresponding to the application program when exiting in the last time is determined; if the area is larger than or equal to a size of a Freeform window corresponding to the application program when exiting in the last time, the acquired display interface corresponding to the specified work task is displayed in a Freeform window as a display interface of the application program; and a size of the Freeform window is the same as a size of a Freeform window corresponding to the application program when exiting in the last time, and a position of the Freeform window in the screen is in the area of the current screen that does not display any Freeform window.
In this embodiment, after the application program is started again, a position of its corresponding Freeform window in a screen is in an area of the current screen that does not display any Freeform window; therefore, other displayed Freeform windows will not be covered, and thus good experience of users is improved.
It should be understood that the value of the sequence number of each operation in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation processes of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
