Android | disable multi window touchwiz samsung programmatically

I actually develop a launcher application and I need to disable the long pressure of the multi task button from Samsung touch-wiz

enter image description here

After searching some tips, I find this apps who can disable this functionality https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle&hl=fr

However I can't install this app on the one hundred tablet of my compagny so I need to know if anyone knows how this guy has done for this app ?

I already look at the Samsung SDK Multi-Window and tried to disable it with this meta tag but none of these are working

<meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.enable" android:value="false" />
<meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.multiinstance.enable"
    android:value="false" />
<meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.penwindow.enable"
    android:value="false" />

Solution

  • After some re-search and some reverse engineering, you can disable it with this code :

    Settings.System.putInt(getActivity().getContentResolver(), "multi_window_enabled", 0);
