iOS Question Detect if iphone or ipad

[IDDGroup]

Is there a way in B4I to tell if you are on an ipad or an iphone?

I need to have different screens depending on the device type (IE: I can fit more on an ipad screen, phone has to be broken into multiple screens)

iPads are usually having a 4:3 aspect ratio so

if 100%x / 100%y < 1.35 then 'it's an iPad.

you could compare with 1.77 aswell which is 16:9 (iphones) as they seem to have other ratios for the new ipad.

There's got to be a way to get the device namesomehow.

I tried

    Dim no As NativeObject = Me
    Log(no.RunMethod("deviceName", Null).AsString)

as i found on the forums, but the method "deviceName" is not valid.

Add

#If OBJC

#import <sys/utsname.h>

- (NSString*) deviceName {
  struct utsname systemInfo;
  uname (&systemInfo);
  return [NSString stringWithCString: systemInfo.machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
  }

#end if

That worked.

also, as sorex mentioned, you can check if less than 1.5 (ipad 11 is 1.43 ratio, all phones are higher, all other ipads are 1.33)

You should use: GetDeviceLayoutValues.DeviceApproximateScreenSize. It returns the approximate size in inches.

For a more exact answer, take a look at this post:

Just a correction here ... the ratio should be the other way around:

if 100%y / 100%x < 1.35 then 'it's an iPad.

What about App.iPadDevice ?
