I am working on adding tablet support on an app. To identify tablet or
phone, I try to rely on a boolean value defined in resource of different
bucket, like:
-values
bool.xml
<resources>
<bool name="isPhoneLayout">true</bool>
</resources>
-values-large
bool.xml
<resources>
<bool name="isPhoneLayout">false</bool>
</resources>
And then, I have check in code like:
if (getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.isPhoneLayout)) {
//start activity for phone
}
else {
//start activity for tablet
}
The app support sdk v8-v15 and my test device is Nexus7 with 4.1.2. The
code works most of time, but occasionally wrong activity got loaded, and I
can see that getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.isPhoneLayout) returns true
in debugger when that happens. The problem can be fixed by rotating screen.
However, I don't have exact repro steps for the problem.
Any thoughts on this? Is the right approach to detect phone/tablet? Should
I check something like getResources().getConfiguration() instead?
Thanks!
