Sets the largest value of the aspect ratio, expressed as`width / height`in decimal form, of the parent window bounds in landscape when the split should be used. When the window aspect ratio is greater than requested here, activities in the secondary container will be stacked on top of the activities in the primary one, completely overlapping them.
This value is only used when the parent window is in landscape (width height).
The default is[SPLIT_MAX_ASPECT_RATIO_LANDSCAPE_DEFAULT](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/embedding/SplitRule#SPLIT_MAX_ASPECT_RATIO_LANDSCAPE_DEFAULT())if the app doesn't set, which is the recommend value to always allow split when the parent window is in landscape.

| `aspectRatio: `[EmbeddingAspectRatio](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/embedding/EmbeddingAspectRatio) | the largest value of the aspect ratio, expressed as`width / height`in decimal form, of the parent window bounds in landscape when the split should be used. |

When the window aspect ratio is greater than requested here, activities in the secondary container will be stacked on top of the activities in the primary one, completely overlapping them.
This value is only used when the parent window is in portrait (height \>= width).
The default is[SPLIT_MAX_ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT_DEFAULT](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/embedding/SplitRule#SPLIT_MAX_ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT_DEFAULT())if the app doesn't set, which is the recommend value to only allow split when the parent window is not too stretched in portrait.

Sets the smallest value of height of the parent task window when the split should be used, in DP. When the window size is smaller than requested here, activities in the secondary container will be stacked on top of the activities in the primary one, completely overlapping them.
It is useful if it's necessary to split the parent window horizontally for this[SplitPlaceholderRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/embedding/SplitPlaceholderRule).
The default is[SPLIT_MIN_DIMENSION_DP_DEFAULT](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/embedding/SplitRule#SPLIT_MIN_DIMENSION_DP_DEFAULT())if the app doesn't set.[SPLIT_MIN_DIMENSION_ALWAYS_ALLOW](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/embedding/SplitRule#SPLIT_MIN_DIMENSION_ALWAYS_ALLOW())means to always allow split.

```
Sets the smallest value of the smallest possible width of the parent window in any rotation when the split should be used, in DP. When the window size is smaller than requested here, activities in the secondary container will be stacked on top of the activities in the primary one, completely overlapping them.
The default is[SPLIT_MIN_DIMENSION_DP_DEFAULT](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/embedding/SplitRule#SPLIT_MIN_DIMENSION_DP_DEFAULT())if the app doesn't set.[SPLIT_MIN_DIMENSION_ALWAYS_ALLOW](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/embedding/SplitRule#SPLIT_MIN_DIMENSION_ALWAYS_ALLOW())means to always allow split.
