Is it possible to run multi applications at Android Things?

Is it possible to run multi applications at Android Things as Android OS?

For example, we can run facebook and Instagram simultaneously at Android OS. Can we run app1 & app2 simultaneously at Android Things ?

Solution

  • Android Things automatically launches exactly one activity containing the IOT_LAUNCHER intent filter. The app containing this activity will be in the foreground state.

    Additional apps can be launched by the system via the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast intent. These apps will be in the background state.

    Of course, your code may also launch additional activities and services in other apps as you see fit.
