[SailfishDevel] Detecting larger screen size of the Jolla tablet

[tisno.de]

Hi all,

do anyone know a good way to determine if an app is running on the 
Jolla phone or tablet?
I mean I want to react during runtime to a larger screen. Best would be 
on the QML side or through a property which is set on the C++ side.

I don't want to have a static rpm for each the phone and the tablet. 
Also detecting the architecture (assuming i486 is a tablet) is not a 
good idea because it could be that in the future we see also ARM 
tablets for Sailfish OS.

One idea would be to take all devices with a higher resolution than 
1920 pixel width as a tablet device. This would work for now on the 
Jolla phone and tablet. But the optimal way would be to detect the 
actual screen size e.g. 4.5" or 7.8". Do you have an idea how this can 
be done?

Thanks!
Marko
