Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of computers. Disclosed are an application program interface display method, device, terminal and readable storage medium. The method comprising: displaying a first window on the full screen and displaying a first application program interface in the first window; displaying a second window above the first window, and displaying a second application program interface in the second window; and always maintaining the first window in a focused state during switching between the first window and the second window. The above technical solution ensures that the application program interface displayed in the first window remains functional without losing the focused state, and the application program interface displayed in the second window remains to be displayed above the first window even in a non-focused state, thus facilitating operation. Additionally, the application program interface display manner has no limitations being intercepted, thus improving universality and reliability.
