Question

How can I find out what the current application type is? i.e. whether it’s running on a mobile device or as a desktop Air application?

I’ve tried this:

if(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplicatoin as WindowedApplication)
 //desktop

However the mobile Version can’t find the WindowedApplication class.

How do I tell the difference?

Answer 1

ok this works:

public static function isAndroid():Boolean
{
    return (Capabilities.version.substr(0,3) == "AND");
}
public static function isIOS():Boolean
{
    return (Capabilities.version.substr(0,3) == "IOS");
}
 ... //is Blackberry

public static function isMobile():Boolean
{
    return (isAndroid() || isIOS()); // || isBlackberry()
}
