In the activity tag of your`AndroidManifest.xml`file, do the following:

1. Add`supportsPictureInPicture`and set it to`true`to declare you'll be using picture-in-picture (PiP) in your app.
2. Add`configChanges`and set it to`orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize`to specify that your activity handles layout configuration changes. This way, your activity doesn't relaunch when layout changes occur during PiP mode transitions.

    <activity
        android:name=".SnippetsActivity"
        android:exported="true"
        android:supportsPictureInPicture="true"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.Snippets">

| **Note:** To learn more about configuration changes, how to restrict activity recreation, and how to react to those configuration changes, see the[Handle configuration changes](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes)page.

In your Compose code, do the following:

1. Add this extension on`Context`. You'll use this extension multiple times throughout the guide to access the activity.  

   ```kotlin
   internal fun Context.findActivity(): ComponentActivity {
       var context = this
       while (context is ContextWrapper) {
           if (context is ComponentActivity) return context
           context = context.baseContext
       }
       throw IllegalStateException("Picture in picture should be called in the context of an Activity")
   }https://github.com/android/snippets/blob/95aeebd507b29719a9e7d5a839f101bbbe42ea72/compose/snippets/src/main/java/com/example/compose/snippets/pictureinpicture/PictureInPictureSnippets.kt#L90-L97
   ```

## Add PiP on leave app for pre-Android 12

To add PiP for pre-Android 12, use[`addOnUserLeaveHintProvider`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/app/OnUserLeaveHintProvider). Follow these steps to add PiP for pre-Android 12:

1. Add a version gate so that this code is only accessed in versions O until R.
2. Use a`DisposableEffect`with`Context`as the key.
3. Inside the`DisposableEffect`, define the behavior for when the`onUserLeaveHintProvider`is triggered using a lambda. In the lambda, call[`enterPictureInPictureMode()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#enterPictureInPictureMode(android.app.PictureInPictureParams))on`findActivity()`and pass in[`PictureInPictureParams.Builder().build()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/PictureInPictureParams.Builder).
4. Add`addOnUserLeaveHintListener`using`findActivity()`and pass in the lambda.
5. In`onDispose`, add`removeOnUserLeaveHintListener`using`findActivity()`and pass in the lambda.

```kotlin
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O &&
    Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.S
) {
    val context = LocalContext.current
    DisposableEffect(context) {
        val onUserLeaveBehavior = Runnable {
            context.findActivity()
                .enterPictureInPictureMode(PictureInPictureParams.Builder().build())
        }
        context.findActivity().addOnUserLeaveHintListener(
            onUserLeaveBehavior
        )
        onDispose {
            context.findActivity().removeOnUserLeaveHintListener(
                onUserLeaveBehavior
            )
        }
    }
} else {
    Log.i("PiP info", "API does not support PiP")
}https://github.com/android/snippets/blob/95aeebd507b29719a9e7d5a839f101bbbe42ea72/compose/snippets/src/main/java/com/example/compose/snippets/pictureinpicture/PictureInPictureSnippets.kt#L354-L374

## Add PiP on leave app for post-Android 12

Post-Android 12, the[`PictureInPictureParams.Builder`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/PictureInPictureParams.Builder)is added through a modifier that is passed to the app's video player.

1. Create a`modifier`and call[`onGloballyPositioned`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/layout/OnGloballyPositionedModifier)on it. The layout coordinates will be used in a later step.
2. Create a variable for the`PictureInPictureParams.Builder()`.
3. Add an`if`statement to check if the SDK is S or later. If so, add[`setAutoEnterEnabled`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/PictureInPictureParams.Builder#setAutoEnterEnabled(boolean))to the builder and set it to`true`to enter PiP mode upon swipe. This provides a smoother animation than going through[`enterPictureInPictureMode`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#enterPictureInPictureMode(android.app.PictureInPictureParams)).
4. Use`findActivity()`to call`setPictureInPictureParams()`. Call`build()`on the`builder`and pass it in.

<br />

```kotlin
val pipModifier = modifier.onGloballyPositioned { layoutCoordinates ->
    val builder = PictureInPictureParams.Builder()

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S) {
        builder.setAutoEnterEnabled(true)
    }
    context.findActivity().setPictureInPictureParams(builder.build())
}

```

## Use`setAspectRatio`to set PiP window's aspect ratio

To set the aspect ratio of the PiP window, you can either choose a specific aspect ratio or use the width and height of the player's video size. If you are using a media3 player, check that the player is not null and that the player's video size is not equal to[`VideoSize.UNKNOWN`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/media3/common/VideoSize#UNKNOWN)before setting the aspect ratio.

<br />

```kotlin
val context = LocalContext.current

val pipModifier = modifier.onGloballyPositioned { layoutCoordinates ->
    val builder = PictureInPictureParams.Builder()
    if (shouldEnterPipMode && player != null && player.videoSize != VideoSize.UNKNOWN) {
        val sourceRect = layoutCoordinates.boundsInWindow().toAndroidRectF().toRect()
        builder.setSourceRectHint(sourceRect)
        builder.setAspectRatio(
            Rational(player.videoSize.width, player.videoSize.height)
        )
    }

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S) {
        builder.setAutoEnterEnabled(shouldEnterPipMode)
    }
    context.findActivity().setPictureInPictureParams(builder.build())
}

```

<br />

| **Warning:** The bounds of what the aspect ratio can be are between 2.39:1 and 1:2.39 (inclusive). If your aspect ratio does not fall between these values, your app will crash.

If you're using a custom player, set the aspect ratio on the player's height and width using the syntax specific to your player. Be aware that if your player resizes during initialization, if it falls outside of the valid bounds of what the aspect ratio can be, your app will crash. You may need to add checks around when the aspect ratio can be calculated, similar to how it is done for a media3 player.
