Thanks for the feedback. We love to hear from the community. I'll add this to our feature request list for the product and engineering teams to consider.

Once again, thank you for submitting the feature request. We have followed up with the product and engineering team, but unfortunately we won’t be able to accommodate your request as the user does have the option to take the PiP back to full screen mode with the expand overlay button that shows up when the tap on the pipped activity.

Any update on this request feature?

I have single activity arch with fragment hosting player and providing pip support, I want to exit PIP mode to show dialogues when there is an error
Description
- There is no equivalent API to leave picture-in-picture mode, other than to finish() the activity
- The user has no way to cause the activity to leave picture-in-picture mode, other than to click the X, which puts the activity in the background
If the user can tap something in our apps to enter picture-in-picture mode from a foreground state, it stands to reason that the user should have the ability to do *something* to cause the activity to return to its original foreground state. For example, the user might have accidentally pressed the enter-picture-in-picture-mode action bar item.
Either:
- Clicking the X should return the activity to the foreground, in its original state, and without destroying the activity (so video playback remains seamless), or
- There should be an exitPictureInPictureMode() method that we can trigger from an action, to offer this capability to users ourselves
Thanks for considering this!
