Hi,
Just bought a Huawei P30 Pro which I love - the main issue I've got is that I just can't seem to bet split-screen to work. It's on EMUI 10.1
I've turned off the Multi-screen dock.
If I go to the recent apps screen, each app has a symbol above it to create a pop-out version of the app, rather than a split screen icon (as I've seen in Youtube videos).
If I click on that, I get a pop-out, e.g. of Youtube. There's a message saying to drag the pop-out window to where I want it, but I can't get it to 'dock' such that there's a way to set up a second app.
What am I doing wrong?

We can't do it on Android 10 with Emui 10 anymore.

Not at all? Seriously?
On P30 pro we can't split screen, only pop up windows are enabled. True story.

You could downgrade to emui 9.1. Multi window is still possible on this version. But don't ask me how to do that.
Use the multi window dock, go into the first app, then open the dock and drag the second app you want into upper or lower screen, you get both apps open now, one up the other down.
You cannot do this from the recent app since you only get the floating window but can't pull any app now from the dock since it takes your launcher as the second app which the launcher does not support.

Thanks Doodledo - that's exactly right. Bit of a pain but I can get it work that way. I read on another thread that there was an app that made this better - any idea what that could be?

Hello,
been loving my mate 10 which I own for 3 weeks now.. but there are just somethings that keeps bugging me. I try to check hi care to see but don't to use the phone to talk about something I know the support from our country can't answer.. So here are some questions that you guys might have some solution to...
1. Notofications DPI - been trying to resize this via dev mode, but to no avail.. Is it just me or that thing is really big?
2. mini display view when not using nav bar - no instructions how to do this is you don't like to use the nav bar and maximize the screen.
3. PiP - i know this doesn't work in youtube unless you are a red subscriber but, it doesn't work with chrome as well..
I'll try to add more if I see some, but the 1st one is tbd biggest problem I have. I tried going to a huawei store and they just showed me the mate 10 pro and p10 capable of minimizing font in notifs when view mode is set to small...

3. PiP work on chrome. Try to stream video, and long press home button. For me it will minimize the video.

I've got a MediaPad M5 Pro 10 with M-Pen stylus. When I tap the M-Pen once together with function button a floating menu pops up with stylus specific apps and a help app. In my case in this floating menu there are two apps (MyScript calculator and Nebo for Huawei). Is there a way to add more apps to this special menu? I couldn't find anything about.
Greetings,

Thanks I hadn't even noticed that menu.
My Menu has a third app (Sketchbook Pro) which I installed, so certain apps can seemingly add to it somehow.
I cannot seem to see the M-Pen floating menu apps location with a file explorer, so I think it's in the hidden Huawei directory, and clicking the app icon itself does nothing.
So I don't think it can be done without root.
It would be nice to configure the buttons on the pen as well, does the 2nd button do anything?

I just installed the free version of Autodesk Sketchbook and it appears in the floating menu by itself. Do some apps have a "stylus flag" set or something like this?

The second button pressed while moving around in Sketchbook activates the rubber.

Yes I imagine it's done that way, I'm not sure of exactly which flag it's setting, Android SDK does have a TOOL_TYPE_STYLUS option to detect a stylus, but I have installed other apps like 'Write', 'Clover Paint', & 'Art Rage' which don't show up in the menu.
The Menu may just be looking for certain app names like "Sketchpad" so when it appears it's added to the menu, but that would be a half-assed way of doing it.
With root I would I imagine one can customise the list manually.
I will continue to try and find out how it's achieved, as I would like to be able to configure it myself, so I will let you know if I get any further info.

After EMUI 9 update I can't manage to switch between apps by clicking on the app screen on side of the screen:

Is it supposed to work this way?

Mine is doing it just fine. I can switch between them by clicking on the side of the screen.
//edit. Im not using any launcher. COL-L29 9.0.0.159
You are right, it works only when you start the system with the stock launcher enabled.
So since 9.0 update broke multiwindow feature. I used it as long press on multitasking button for split screen. Is there an app or something to get it back without root?

Do this: tap on the app icon at the top of the app when you're in the recents screen, there is a split screen option there. Do me a favor though, try it and see how well it works. When I do it, the app only takes up a tiny bit of the screen at the top, I try to slide it down but it just slides back up. It is there but to me it seems buggy or at least difficult to use. Let me know
Update: I figured it out. You select to open one app in split screen, and then choose any other app and they will both share the screen.

Multi-Window is not broken in Android 9. All that happened with it (and other features, I don't have a full list readily available) was a change in how we use said features.
Someone else asked the same question recently. Thread below will be of help to you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/multi-windows-options-pie-s9-t3903497
I know they changed it, but I should have explained it better. I wanted to know if there is a way to get as we had it on Oreo? On oreo, there was a way to assign long press of multitasking button to split-screen current app. And I want to know if I could get that back?

Checking the users manual for Android Pie for our phone's the only way to do app pairing now is via the Edge menu.
If you want other methods then you can refer to the thread I linked (someone posted an app suggestion for what your asking in the thread). Otherwise check the Google Play store and see if there is an app that will do the trick.
There's a few apps that I use the calculator with but there doesn't seem a way to create an app pair for the edge panel where one of them starts in pop-up view or minimised as a bubble. Is there a way?
Why not go the other way around and use the calculator from within the edge panel?
Maybe you want this results:

Thanks but unfortunately this just creates app pairs. Doesn't give the option to start one of them either as a bubble of a pop-up window.

Yeah that seems the best compromise doesn't it. Quicker than launching the app manually and changing it to a pop-up app.
