I have a Razr flip phone that I often use folded halfway (laptop style) and watch videos on the top half while I do other things.

Certain video apps center the content across both halves of the screen and I have to activate split screen and put a random app on the bottom half of the screen.

Long story short, is there a way to split screen only 1 app to only the top half of the screen? I’ve tried to search for something but I’m coming up empty.

    Install Android Studio on your PC and create a new empty app. Plug in your mobile and deploy that app. Now select that app as the second one for the lower half. It should be all black, if its all white, change the background color.

    Or look if there is an all black app in the store, probably a screen tester app.

      I see the freeform option and I have tested that out. It’s the closest to what I want to do.

      I just wish I could click the split screen mode and only choose 1 app to run in the top 50% of the screen and have the other half just be black.

          I have the Razr+ as well. I was just looking for an option that rather than split between 2 apps, have only one app running on the top half of the screen.

            I don’t know if that will be a thing. The only phone I’ve been able to do anything even remotely close to this was an LG Wing.
