The `` element should be allowed to be resized to allow users
to take advantage of the multi-window environments available on larger
screen Android devices.
To fix the issue, consider declaring the corresponding activity element
with `resizableActivity="true"` attribute.
!!! Tip
This lint check has an associated quickfix available in the IDE.
(##) Example
Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text
AndroidManifest.xml:5:Warning: Expecting
android:resizeableActivity="true" for this activity so the user can take
advantage of the multi-window environment on all devices. NOTE:
beginning with Android 12, all apps run in multi-window mode on large
screen devices. [NonResizeableActivity]
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:resizeableActivity="false"/>
----------------------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the source file referenced above:
`AndroidManifest.xml`:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xml linenumbers
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<application>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:resizeableActivity="false"/>
</application>
</manifest>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

for the unit tests for this check to see additional scenarios.
The above example was automatically extracted from the first unit test
found for this lint check, `ChromeOsDetector.testInvalidResizableActivities`.

(##) Suppressing
You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms:
* Adding the suppression attribute
`tools:ignore="NonResizeableActivity"` on the problematic XML
element (or one of its enclosing elements). You may also need to add
the following namespace declaration on the root element in the XML
file if it's not already there:
`xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"`.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
...
<uses-feature tools:ignore="NonResizeableActivity" .../>
...
</manifest>
```
* Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off
the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look
like this:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lint>
<issue id="NonResizeableActivity" severity="ignore" />
</lint>
```
Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for
example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional
documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and
so on
[here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html).
* In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For
example, you can use something like
```gradle
lintOptions {
disable 'NonResizeableActivity'
}
```
In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }`
block.
* For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag:
```
$ lint --ignore NonResizeableActivity ...`
```
* Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed
[here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).
