I heard that there is a keyword or method that Android developers can use to determine whether Android 4.0+ is running on a tablet (without having to do any kludgy screen size comparisons). I can’t find it.

So, is this true? If so, what is it?

Edit: I see that people are giving me answers that are not what I’m looking for. I already know how to determine whether a device is a tablet or phone using the kludgy screen size method and using the OS method. I’m looking for a method that has been available starting with API level 14 that will tell me the same information — hopefully. I can’t find it, so I’m wondering whether it even exists.

    Android 4+ has the configuration object. You can use the “isLayoutSizeAtLeast(int size)” method to do your check. It’s less kludgy than some other examples I’ve seen around.
