Hello,
How to distinguish an iOS phone from an Android phone?
I have 2 different layouts:
• Web for Desktop
• Phone (FMGo or Safari)
But how can I detect Phones when they are not running iOS?
I would like to redirect Android device to the Phone layout and not to the Web Desktop layout.
Regards
Ben
I do not understand, I didn't see the 5 for Android.
I have bee looking at the detailed Get (Device) in FileMaker.com, I must be tired.
Thank you
Ben
Probably looking at an older FM help version. Android has not always been in the list, it was added because of web direct.
And even with WebDirect it was only added in 17.
No. It was added a few versions ago. I know it was added since FM15, just click the above help link in badmonkey842 post.
I was referring to explicit support for small mobile devices, including Android, in WebDirect. Prior to that Android was off the table. I did follow the documentation links and it's true that Android is in there back to 14. I don't know if it was added in, but FMI often said that Android was not supported. Heck, they used to even say that iOS wasn't supported in WebDirect until 17, so I am not sure how they had it in Get ( Device ) before then, unless for a just-in-case option.
The post was about detecting non ios devices. Get(Device) returns 5 for Android, which was added because of web direct.
A post from 2015, before the release of FM17.
Possible <> supported.
Hi Ben,
You could use Get(Device) function to detect android phone which returns 5 and then you could design a WebDirect layout for it.
Windows return 2, Mac returns 1 and iPhone or iPod touch returns 4.
