android - PhoneGap - Detect device type in phonegap

Question

I'm building an application in phonegap for the three different platforms: Android, iOS And Blackberry. While doing so, I have to detect the device type so that I can manage the height and width of my app on different platforms and for different devices like Android Phone, Android Tablet, iPhone, iPad and Blackberry...

Answer 1

New in Phonegap, and simplest, is that you can use the device.platform:

// Depending on the device, a few examples are:
//   - "Android"
//   - "BlackBerry"
//   - "iOS"
//   - "webOS"
//   - "WinCE"
//   - "Tizen"
//   - "browser"
var devicePlatform = device.platform;
