Detecting Device Through system.GetInfo

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

hi guys, i just found out one very valuable resource here:

http://developer.anscamobile.com/node/2766

it looks really cool if we can use if function with this system.getinfo (for better adjustment of x and y positioning in different devices)

what i would like to know is, is it possible if we use system getinfo based on screen resolution or stuffs like that? Because new devices come almost every 3-6 months and they seem to have different screen size?

also, why the device list in this page seems outdated? I mean can i system.getinfo ipad for ipad 2 (or later ipad 3)? do you guys at corona ever update this?

Thanks! [import]uid: 114765 topic_id: 22854 reply_id: 322854[/import]

system.getInfo() simply reads the information directly from the device. There’s nothing to update.

If you’re looking for a way to read physical screen size, currently there is no way to do that, but I’ve made a small table that helps http://developer.anscamobile.com/code/android-screen-sizes-and-names-list

It’s not very complete, but that’s just the first version. It will be updated as time goes by. [import]uid: 61899 topic_id: 22854 reply_id: 91309[/import]
