Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I wan't Amaze to be resizable.

Describe the solution you'd like

I guess adding:

<application
    android:resizeableActivity="true">
</application>

Describe alternatives you've considered

You mean, not resizing?

Additional context

I'm using Samsung DeX, which gives a desktop like experience and makes use of Android windowing support.

Samsung has documentation on how to enable window resizing.

This documentation also has more tweaks and information on how to improve the desktop experience in case you're interested.
They also have an app testing guide (although some apps are fine with this guide but won't work on "real" DeX sometimes).

At the moment the resizing button is greyed out and Amaze is always nearly squarish:

PS: I know that it is possible to force all apps to be resizable via Samsung Labs > Force Resize but it would obviously better to make the application natively resizable to create less friction.

Research direction

Start by locating the Android application manifest and its declaration, then check how the resizeableActivity setting is currently configured. Test the resulting build on Samsung DeX or an equivalent Android windowing environment and confirm that Amaze can be resized without forcing it through Samsung Labs.
