Once in split-screen mode, the Overview button will change to display two rectangles (marked A in Figure 71-6), the current activity will fill part of the screen (B) and the Overview screen will appear in the adjacent part of the screen allowing the second activity to be selected for display (C):

Once the second app has been selected, the screen will be split evenly as illustrated previously in Figure 71-1 above.

To exit split-screen mode, simply drag the divider separating the two activities to a far edge so that only one activity fills the screen, or press and hold the Overview button until it reverts to a single square.
