Tablet Detection?

by Chase Webb · in Torque 2D Beginner · 10/02/2014 (1:05 am) · 2 replies

Heya world! I'm wondering if there are any commands or ways to detect a tablet versus a phone/ipod. I would just do a resolution check, but considering most phones these days have screen resolutions on par to a tablet I'm not sure what to do. Or do I need to split my project into two separate apps and release them separately within the stores themselves?

AFter looking at several posts on the subject online, there doesn't seem to be a "phone or tablet" variable , the only difference being the screen size and the DPI of the device.

Stack overflow has several articles outlining various methods to handle this.

In that case I think I'll program to cover everything and make a separate tablet version some day later on :P
