Tabs for KK and below #99

Open BeeeWall opened 6 years ago

The inability to have multiple pages open at a time below Lollipop makes the app annoying to use.

I can't do anything to try and fix it, because AIDE doesn't support Kotlin, but if the issue is a missing API I can see if there is an alternative. But I'm guessing it has to do with the Lollipop Overview mode changes?

Thanks for reporting. Yes, Tabs uses Overview mode changes to create multiple tasks that appear as separate entries in overview screen. Bringing this to KitKat would require a lot of effort and certain hackish way of manipulating Android Task stack. I did not want go that route as users below 5.0 are pretty low but I would not mind a PR for the feature if somebody wants it.
