getDeviceInfo returned values?

nat12

Hello,

the documentation of application:getDeviceInfo say
> For iOS, returns 5 values: “iOS”, iOS version, device type, user interface idiom and device model

which possible values are returned for device type?
(i am interested into distinguish iPads from other iOS devices)

Check the resolution

local o = application:getOrientation()   if (o == Application.LANDSCAPE_LEFT) or (o == Application.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT) then DWIDTH = application:getDeviceHeight() DHEIGHT = application:getDeviceWidth() else DWIDTH = application:getDeviceWidth() DHEIGHT = application:getDeviceHeight() end   WIDTH = application:getContentWidth() HEIGHT = application:getContentHeight()

if application:getDeviceWidth() == 768 then it's an iPad

@techdojo if you enable retina display for iPad 3, application:getDeviceWidth() will return 768 * 2, and you'll cry a lot

1st value -> "iOS"
2nd value -> [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]
3rd value -> [[UIDevice currentDevice] model]
4th value -> UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() (as "iPhone" or "iPad")
5th value -> hw.machine. Here are the possibilities:

iPhone1,1 -> iPhone 1G, M68 iPhone1,2 -> iPhone 3G, N82 iPhone2,1 -> iPhone 3GS, N88 iPhone3,1 -> iPhone 4/AT&T, N89 iPhone3,2 -> iPhone 4/Other Carrier?, ?? iPhone3,3 -> iPhone 4/Verizon, TBD iPhone4,1 -> (iPhone 4S/GSM), TBD iPhone4,2 -> (iPhone 4S/CDMA), TBD iPhone4,3 -> (iPhone 4S/???) iPhone5,1 -> iPhone Next Gen, TBD iPhone5,1 -> iPhone Next Gen, TBD iPhone5,1 -> iPhone Next Gen, TBD   iPod1,1 -> iPod touch 1G, N45 iPod2,1 -> iPod touch 2G, N72 iPod2,2 -> Unknown, ?? iPod3,1 -> iPod touch 3G, N18 iPod4,1 -> iPod touch 4G, N80   iPad1,1 -> iPad 1G, WiFi and 3G, K48 iPad2,1 -> iPad 2G, WiFi, K93 iPad2,2 -> iPad 2G, GSM 3G, K94 iPad2,3 -> iPad 2G, CDMA 3G, K95 iPad3,1 -> (iPad 3G, WiFi) iPad3,2 -> (iPad 3G, GSM) iPad3,3 -> (iPad 3G, CDMA) iPad4,1 -> (iPad 4G, WiFi) iPad4,2 -> (iPad 4G, GSM) iPad4,3 -> (iPad 4G, CDMA)   i386, x86_64 -> iPhone Simulator

Also you can look UIDevice documentation http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UIDevice_Class/Reference/UIDevice.html for more detailed explanation of systemVersion and model properties.

@Atilim - I haven't cried since I got my new iPad but I'll bet @GregBUG did )
Fair point though - still the concept was sound

sorry to revive the old post but I wanted to confirm. If I want to check if this is an iPAD, should I use 3rd value or 4th one? My Ipad 3 returns iPad for both of them and I wanted to see which one is more reliable.

Looks like the the 4th one?

@boriskey 3rd value is a model, which should have returned different values on ios, but for some reason [[UIDevice currentDevice] model] on ios returns ipad for both ipad 3 and 4

and 4th value is idiom, to distinguish between ipad or iphone. So any ipad will be ipad and any iphone will be iphone

very clear now, thank you!
