Another really cool thing you can do with multi-window is launch new activities directly in that mode. This means if you have other apps that support split-screen, instead of launching them in your current screen, you can launch them in the other split of the screen, so you can use both apps at the same time.

fun getIntent(context: Context, shouldLaunchInMultiWindow: Boolean, note: Note? = null) =
  Intent(context, AddNoteActivity::class.java).apply {
    putExtra(KEY_NOTE, note)

  }
if (shouldLaunchInMultiWindow) {
  flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCH_ADJACENT or
    Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK or
    Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
  }
private fun showNoteDetails(note: Note? = null) {
  startActivity(AddNoteActivity.getIntent(this, isInMultiWindowMode, note))
}
