[Android] Split-Screen on Nougat

Hello! I have been playing LiChess for a couple of years, and I have been using the Android application ever since it was released. I am happy to say that for the most part the split-screen mode on Nougat works..

I have been playing Lichess in split-screen and it has been very nice to have the board open while I am using other applications. There has only been a couple of glitches with that, and I am hoping they will be easy fixes. For reference, I am using a Huawei Nexus 6p.

1. In half-n-half, the board exceeds the available screen area by half a square.. Not a deal breaker by any means.

2. In 2/3rds, the move confirmation is off screen making play impossible.

One other detail that may play a factor, I have also been using the DPI selection that is available in Nougat to make everything smaller, at the same time making the font bigger. Sounds like an odd combo, but for me it made sense to shrink all the interface elements while keeping text at a readable level.

I hope this report is useful, and I look forward to any improvements on the app.. Thank you!
