Interface display method and apparatus for controlling interactability of simultaneously displayed user interfaces of an application

An electronic device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• display a first user interface of the application;
• in response to detecting a startup operation for a second user interface of the application, control states of components used to display the first user interface and the second user interface as a visible state, wherein
• the visible state comprises an activated state and a paused state,
• when the life cycle state of the activity component of the first user interface is the activated state and the life cycle state of the activity component of the second user interface is the paused state, the first user interface and the second user interface are simultaneously displayed on the display panel, but the user can perform a touch operation on the first user interface, and cannot perform a touch operation at any point in the second user interface;
• when the life cycle state of the activity component of the first user interface is the paused state and the life cycle state of the activity component of the second user interface is the activated state, the first user interface and the second user interface are simultaneously displayed on the display panel, but the user can perform a touch operation on the second user interface, and cannot perform a touch operation at any point in the first user interface, and
• the second user interface is a sub-interface of the first user interface;
• determining that the life cycle state of the activity component of the first user interface is the activated state and the first user interface has other sub-interfaces, and starting up a third user interface in response to a target touch operation on the first user interface, the third user interface being one of the sub-interfaces of the first user interface;
• or
• determining that the life cycle state of the activity component of the second user interface is the activated state and the second user interface has other sub-interfaces, and starting up a third user interface in response to a target touch operation on the second user interface, the third user interface being one of the sub-interfaces of the second user interface;
• and
• adjusting interface layout of the third user interface according to interface layout parameters of the first user interface or the second user interface, and displaying the layout adjusted third user interface, wherein the adjusting is performed before the displaying so that a phenomenon of interface jumping when displaying the third user interface is avoided;
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• in response to the first user interface or second user interface being partially obscured by a pop-up window, switch the life cycle state of the activity component of the first user interface or second user interface from the activated state to the paused state, wherein the first user interface or the second user interface in the paused state is visible but not available for user interaction, and wherein one activity component corresponds to one user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the instructions in the storage medium, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:

• displaying a first user interface of an application;
• in response to detecting a startup operation for a second user interface of the application, controlling states of components used to display the first user interface and the second user interface as a visible state, wherein
• the visible state comprises an activated state and paused state,
• when the life cycle state of the activity component of the first user interface is the activated state and the life cycle state of the activity component of the second user interface is the paused state, the first user interface and the second user interface are simultaneously displayed on the display panel, but the user can perform a touch operation on the first user interface, and cannot perform a touch operation at any point in the second user interface;
• when the life cycle state of the activity component of the first user interface is the paused state and the life cycle state of the activity component of the second user interface is the activated state, the first user interface and the second user interface are simultaneously displayed on the display panel, but the user can perform a touch operation on the second user interface, and cannot perform a touch operation at any point in the first user interface, and
• the second user interface is a sub-interface of the first user interface;
• determining that the life cycle state of the activity component of the first user interface is the activated state and the first user interface has other sub-interfaces, and starting up a third user interface in response to a target touch operation on the first user interface, the third user interface being one of the sub-interfaces of the first user interface;
• or
• determining that the life cycle state of the activity component of the second user interface is the activated state and the second user interface has other sub-interfaces, and starting up a third user interface in response to a target touch operation on the second user interface, the third user interface being one of the sub-interfaces of the second user interface;
• and
• adjusting interface layout of the third user interface according to interface layout parameters of the first user interface or the second user interface, and displaying the layout adjusted third user interface, wherein the adjusting is performed before the displaying so that a phenomenon of interface jumping when displaying the third user interface is avoided;
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• in response to the first user interface or second user interface being partially obscured by a pop-up window, switch the life cycle state of the activity component of the first user interface or second user interface from the activated state to the paused state, wherein the first user interface or the second user interface in the paused state is visible but not available for user interaction, and wherein one activity component corresponds to one user interface.
