Enable PictureInPicture feature for Video Activity

[james04gr]

Since Android 8.0 (API 26) allows activities to launch in PictureInPicture mode it would be very useful and helpful that you integrate this in the twilio-video-app example that you have.

Hi @james04gr . Thanks for reaching out regarding this enhancement! This would definitely be a great feature to add to the app. We'll add this to our backlog as an enhancement. Also, feel free to open a pull request if you'd like to see this integrated into the app sooner.

Hi, I have achieved PIP mode in my video calling app. I will try to generate PR for it.

嗨，我已经在我的视频通话应用程序中实现了 PIP 模式。我会尝试为它生成 PR。

Can you share the demo of pip?
