Remarks

Application level android.content.pm.PackageManager.Property PackageManager .Property for an app to inform the system that it needs to be opted-out from the compatibility treatment that sandboxes android.view.View API.

The treatment can be enabled by device manufacturers for applications which misuse android.view.View APIs by expecting that android.view.View#getLocationOnScreen, android.view.View#getBoundsOnScreen, android.view.View#getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame, android.view.View#getWindowDisplayFrame return coordinates as if an activity is positioned in the top-left corner of the screen, with left coordinate equal to 0. This may not be the case for applications in multi-window and in letterbox modes.

Setting this property to false informs the system that the application must be opted-out from the "Sandbox android.view.View API to Activity bounds" treatment even if the device manufacturer has opted the app into the treatment.

Not setting this property at all, or setting this property to true has no effect.
