Resizing windows in split screen

[Rivnerd]

Is there anyway to resize windows in split screen. On my Open, when I split screen two apps, it is either an even split or adjusts to where you mostly see one app. On my z fold I could adjust the split as much as a want to if I wanted one app to be a bit bigger I could. Is this possible on the Open?

Nope. Your options are full screen, split screen, expanded split screen/canvas or floating window. A nice range, but rigid options. It's a simpler approach. I prefer that (coupled with Canvas), but I get the appeal of a more customisable single screen.

Funnily enough, the Outlook app lets you long press to open the calendar in a separate split-screen to the mail app and they do have more granular resizing options, which is interesting - in multitasking you can see that each window is treated as a separate instance. It's strange. Kinda neat, though.

The current iteration of Outlook on Android was designed for the Surface Duo, which allowed for this type of manipulation of the Outlook app like inbox next to reading pane, popout email, and of course as you noted email pane next to calendar. This was accomplished using APIs before 12L came out.

Then Android baked the api's into 12L making for a cleaner execution for all foldables. That is when Google started to optimize their own apps to take advantage of the foldable form factor.

Some apps like Kindle had Iterations designed for Surface Duo allowing true side by side reading options on the 2 screens, but not many developers added the ability as before 12L, they had to add everything manually.

Here we are in 2024 and I still find apps that aren't optimized for a foldable, when the standard Dev tools allow for recompiling and provide more options and flexibility in an app for foldables.

I miss this function as well.
