On Android devices, Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode allows users to continue watching videos in a small window while doing other tasks. However, the term "Android LED display" can be a bit misleading, as it generally refers to features found on Android-powered smart devices (such as phones and tablets), not specifically on LED displays.

To set up and use Picture-in-Picture on a supported Android device, follow these steps:

Confirming the system version

Make sure your device is running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or higher, as Picture-in-Picture was introduced in Android 8.0.

Checking App Support

Not all video apps support Picture-in-Picture mode. You'll need to confirm whether the video playback app you're using supports it. Most popular video apps (such as YouTube and Netflix) support Picture-in-Picture, but you may need to enable the option within the app.

Enabling Picture-in-Picture

1. For a single app:

Open your device's Settings.

Find and select "Apps" or "Apps & Notifications." - Find the app you want to enable Picture-in-Picture for and tap it to access its app info page.

- In the app info page, find "Advanced" and select "Picture-in-Picture." Make sure it's set to Allowed.

2. Global Settings:

- Open your device's Settings.

- Go to "System" > "Picture-in-Picture" in Settings. Here, you can manage which apps can use Picture-in-Picture mode.

Using Picture-in-Picture Mode

While playing a video in a supported app, you can activate Picture-in-Picture mode by pressing the Home button or swiping from the edge of the screen. The specific instructions may vary depending on the device and app.

Please note that if you're referring to a specific hardware device (such as some smart TVs or advertising displays) by using "Android LED display," the exact configuration method may vary and depend on the manufacturer's features and support. In this case, it's recommended to consult the device's user manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Implementing Picture-in-Picture (PiP) on Android requires specific steps. Here's a simple Kotlin example showing how to enable and handle PiP mode in an Android app.

First, make sure your app targets at least API level 24 (Android Nougat) or higher, as this is the first version that introduced PiP mode.

Here's a simple Activity example that shows how to set up and handle PiP mode:

package com.example.pipexample

import android.app.PictureInPictureParams

import android.content.res.Configuration

import android.os.Build

import android.os.Bundle

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

// Set up a button to enter picture-in-picture mode

        pipButton.setOnClickListener {

            enterPIPMode()

        }

    }

    private fun enterPIPMode() {

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

            val params = PictureInPictureParams.Builder().build()

            enterPictureInPictureMode(params)

        } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {

            enterPictureInPictureMode()

        }

    }

    override fun onUserLeaveHint() {

        super.onUserLeaveHint()

        enterPIPMode()

    }

    override fun onPictureInPictureModeChanged(isInPictureInPictureMode: Boolean, newConfig: Configuration?) {

        super.onPictureInPictureModeChanged(isInPictureInPictureMode, newConfig)

        if (isInPictureInPictureMode) {

// Operations performed after entering picture-in-picture mode

            videoView.visibility = VISIBLE

        } else {

// Operations to perform after exiting picture-in-picture mode

            videoView.visibility = INVISIBLE

        }

    }

}

You also need to define the UI layout in the `res/layout/activity_main.xml` file, which includes a button to trigger PiP mode and a video view:

<pre>

xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

<VideoView

android:id="@+id/videoView"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:visibility="gone"/>

<Button

android:id="@+id/pipButton"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="Enter PIP Mode"/>

</RelativeLayout>

</pre>

Please note that in a real-world project, you may also need to configure the video player and other logic to suit your specific application scenario.

Also, for more detailed information on supporting Picture-in-Picture mode, please refer to the official documentation:

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/picture-in-picture

This sample code provides a basic framework to help you implement Picture-in-Picture functionality in your Android app. You may need to further expand and refine this code based on your specific needs.

To set up the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature on an Android device (including LED displays), follow these steps:

System Compatibility Check

Ensure your device is running Android 8.0 (API 26) or higher and that the system supports PiP (some custom ROMs may remove this feature).

Application Permission Configuration

In your application's manifest file (AndroidManifest.xml), add the android:supportsPictureInPicture="true" attribute to the target activity and declare android:configChanges to prevent the activity from being recreated when switching to PiP.

User Interaction Triggering

PiP mode can be triggered using the Home button or Recent Tasks button in the system navigation bar (user interaction is required; the app cannot force it). Some devices may provide a dedicated PiP button (such as a video player control bar).

Window Scaling

After entering PiP, the window defaults to the app icon size. You can use system gestures to drag and adjust the position. Some devices support pinch-to-zoom to adjust the window size.

Background Behavior Management

In Picture-in-Picture mode, apps can still play audio or decode videos, but they must optimize resource usage to avoid being recycled by the system. It is recommended to pause non-core UI updates.

Notes:

For LED displays, ensure that the system driver supports Picture-in-Picture rendering.

Different manufacturers may have additional restrictions on Picture-in-Picture (for example, Huawei EMUI requires "Smart Floating Window" to be enabled in Settings).

To exit Picture-in-Picture, click the window's close button or drag it to the bottom of the screen.

Not all apps support Picture-in-Picture (PIP). To set up PIP on an Android device (including an LED display), first open a PIP-supported app, such as a specific video player or video calling app, and start a video. Once the video is full screen, press the Home button.

The video will resume playing in a small window in the lower right corner of the screen, allowing you to use other apps. You can also drag the small window to reposition it, and double-click it to return to full screen.

To check if an app supports PIP, long-press the app icon to access the App Info screen and see if the PIP option is available (enabled by default).

You can also view apps that support this feature by going to Settings > Apps > Special App Permissions > PIP.
