How To Do Another Things When Watching Video (Multitasking)

How to Multitask While Watching a Video on Android?

We know Samsung Galaxy S3 comes default with this features which make it stand alone when it was release. 

The ability to pop up the video player and view it on top of any other app. Seriously, the only reason I didn’t like to watch videos on my Android was because then I lose the power of multitasking.

Moreover, it’s very annoying to close a music video half way just because you have an important mail to send or someone just sends you an urgent text message or a chat to reply.

As it’s a software feature on Samsung, I was hoping to find an app on Play Store which can perform a similar task on any Android device, and indeed, there was one.

"G player (Super Video)" is a video player for Android using which you can view your videos
on Android on top of any other app. So if you are composing a mail or browsing the web, you can have the video playing in front of you in a resizable widget which always remains on top.

After you install the app, fire it up. The app will
automatically scan all the videos that are available on your memory card and list them for you. To play a video, simply click on the thumbnail generated on the app home screen. The video will soon start playing in landscape mode just as it
would on any other video app.

Tap the screen while the video is playing to see three Windows-like minimize, restore and close buttons on the top right corner. To pop put the player, tap the restore button. The player will pop out like a picture-in-picture frame with the video playing. You can now watch the video in the popup
frame even while working on some other apps or simply press home button to minimize.

The popup player provides some basic controls like video navigation, play/pause on the frame. One can control the screen brightness and volume too by dragging the left and right border of the video frame respectively.

The other two buttons, minimize and close, do what they are meant to. You can even drag and resize the playback popup window to suit your needs.

Furthermore, you can play multiple videos (maximum of 6) at the same time using the app. The limit depends upon your device hardware configuration. This feature sounds fun.
