I ma in trouble with detecting iPad. I have a code for detecting if its iPhone 4/4s, iPhone 5/5s or iPad mini. But I have no idea how to detect iPad air(1536 x 2048). If I use this code it returns me for iPad retina in simulator the settings I set for iPhone 5.
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:#selector(scale)]) {
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == 2.0) {
if([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height == 568){
//iPhone5
} else{
//Iphone4
}
}else {
//iPadmini
}}
Finally fixed it!
#define iPhone4Or5oriPad ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568 ? 5 : ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 480 ? 4 : 999))
if (iPhone4Or5oriPad==4) {
NSLog(#"This is 3.5 inch iPhone - iPhone 4s or below");
} else if (iPhone4Or5oriPad==5) {
NSLog(#"This is 4 inch iPhone - iPhone 5 & above");
} else {
NSLog(#"This is iPad");
}

Using ios Size classes how do I differentiate between iphone 5.5inch in portrait and any other iphone in portrait.
For example if I set the text size - width compact and height any - this seems to apply to ALL iphones. Is there a size class that you can apply to iphone 6 - that is different from all the other smaller iphones?
If I understood your problem correctly, you have to do this programmatically.
Use this code to check for the size of the iPhone:
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 480) {
//3.5 inch iPhone
}
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568) {
//4 inch iPhone
}
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 667) {
//4.7 inch iPhone
}
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 736) {
//5.5 inch iPhone
}
does anyone know an alternative to the following code? I want to support iOS 7 and below in my app and .nativeScale does not work on these firmwares. I could not find a solution on the internet that's why I am asking here. (normally letting screenbounds check for height of 568 does not work for iPhone 6+)
The Code I'm referring to:
CGRect screenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
if ([UIScreen mainScreen].nativeScale > 2.1) {
//6 plus
} else if (screenBounds.size.height == 568) {
//4 inch / iPhone 6 code
} else {
//3.5 inch code
}
Thanks in advance
So what I did was:
First I had the methods in the following order:
if ([UIScreen mainScreen].nativeScale > 2.1) {
//6 plus
} else if (screenBounds.size.height == 568) {
//4 inch code
} else {
//3.5 inch code
}
Then I thought since the computer stops running the if else statement once he finds a true one I just rearranged the order to the following:
if (screenBounds.size.height == 480) {
//3.5 inch code
} else if ([UIScreen mainScreen].nativeScale > 2.1) {
//6 plus
} else if (screenBounds.size.height == 568) {
//4 inch code
}
This supported an iPhone 4S with iOS 7 or below. On iPhone 5 / 5S it would still crash. That's why I changed it in the end to the following:
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:#selector(nativeScale)]) {
//checks if device is running on iOS 8, skips if not
NSLog(#"iOS 8 device");
if (screenBounds.size.height == 480) {
//3.5 inch code
NSLog(#"iPhone 4S detected");
} else if ([UIScreen mainScreen].nativeScale > 2.1) {
//6 plus
NSLog(#"iPhone 6 plus detected");
} else if (screenBounds.size.height == 568) {
//4 inch code
NSLog(#"iPhone 5 / 5S / 6 detected");
}
} else if (screenBounds.size.height == 480) {
//checks if device is tunning iOS 7 or below if not iOS 8
NSLog(#"iOS 7- device");
NSLog(#"iPhone 4S detected");
//3.5 inch code
} else if (screenBounds.size.height == 568) {
NSLog(#"iOS 7- device");
NSLog(#"iPhone 5 / 5S / 6 detected");
//4 inch code
}
It should now fully work on any iOS 7 an iOS 8 device!
Forgive me if this is a really stupid question I am just a beginner at all of this stuff. I want to make a separate interface for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus but I don't know how the best way to be going about this is. This is a very simple app just to get myself more familiar with the language, etc. I was wondering if there is an easy way to tell if a user is using a 6 or 6 plus to make a separate interface for them. Thanks :)
Use single storyboard. Learn autolayout from raywanderlich, it think its a very good resource.
Also,now take advantage of the size classes introduced for ios 8 in xcode 6. This is called adaptive layout.
So instead of making the above four views for 3.5, 4, 4.7, 5.5 inch devices separately, and then worry about combining their respective landscape modes as well, just go for the 4 combination of size classes using auto layout (if possible, highly recommended) and relax for any other device size that may come into future.
To detect iPhone Version Please use below code.
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:#selector(scale)]) {
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == 2.0) {
if([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height == 667){
// iPhone retina-4.7 inch(iPhone 6)
}
else if([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height == 568){
// iPhone retina-4 inch(iPhone 5 or 5s)
}
else{
// iPhone retina-3.5 inch(iPhone 4s)
}
}
else if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == 3.0)
{
if([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height == 736.0){
//iPhone retina-5.5 inch screen(iPhone 6 plus)
}
}
}
Reference from Here
write this code in .pch file
#define IS_IPHONE_6 (IS_IPHONE && [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 667.0)
#define IS_IPHONE_6_PLUS (IS_IPHONE && [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 736.0)
and wwhenever you need in any controller you simply check the condition.
Below are methods that do what you asked. One major thing to look out for is in iOS7 and below, when you check [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds] for the screen bounds, it always lists the width and height as the same no matter what orientation the phone is in. So if it's an iPhone5 in landscape mode, it will still list the width as 320 and height as 568. In iOS8, this changed, now if that same iPhone5 is in landscape, it will list the width as 568 and the height as 320. Below are methods which account for this:
+ (BOOL) deviceHasFourInchScreen
{
return [DeviceType deviceHasScreenWithIdiom:UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone scale:2.0 height:568.0];
}
+ (BOOL) deviceHasFourPointSevenInchScreen
{
return [DeviceType deviceHasScreenWithIdiom:UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone scale:2.0 height:667.0];
}
+ (BOOL) deviceHasFivePointFiveInchScreen
{
return [DeviceType deviceHasScreenWithIdiom:UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone scale:3.0 height:736.0];
}
+ (BOOL) deviceHasScreenWithIdiom:(UIUserInterfaceIdiom)userInterfaceIdiom scale:(CGFloat)scale height:(CGFloat)height
{
CGRect mainScreenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
CGFloat mainScreenHeight;
if ([OperatingSystemVersion operatingSystemVersionLessThan:#"8.0"])
{
mainScreenHeight = mainScreenBounds.size.height;
}
else
{
mainScreenHeight = (UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape([[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation])) ? mainScreenBounds.size.width : mainScreenBounds.size.height;
}
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == userInterfaceIdiom && [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == scale && mainScreenHeight == height)
{
return YES;
}
else
{
return NO;
}
}
Also here are the accompanying OperatingSystem class methods:
+ (NSString *) currentOperatingSystemVersion
{
return [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
}
+ (BOOL) operatingSystemVersionLessThanOrEqualTo:(NSString *) operatingSystemVersionToCompare
{
return ([[self currentOperatingSystemVersion] compare: operatingSystemVersionToCompare options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedDescending);
}
Put below lines in prefix.pch
#define iPhoneVersion ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568 ? 5 : ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 480 ? 4 : ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 667 ? 6 : ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 736 ? 61 : 999))))
Now in programming you can say...
if (iPhoneVersion==4) {
NSLog("This is 3.5 inch iPhone - iPhone 4s or below");
} else if (iPhoneVersion==5) {
NSLog("This is 4 inch iPhone - iPhone 5 family");
} else if (iPhoneVersion==6) {
NSLog("This is 4.7 inch iPhone - iPhone 6");
} else if (iPhoneVersion==61) {
NSLog("This is 5.5 inch iPhone - iPhone 6 Plus.. The BIGGER");
} else {
NSLog("This is iPad");
}
However, I would say use one storyboard for all iPhones by learning autolayout.
I know,
We can detect retina device by either of the following methosds:
BOOL isRetina;
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:#selector(scale)] && [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == 2){
isRetina = YES;
} else {
isRetina = NO;
}
or
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:#selector(displayLinkWithTarget:selector:)]){
NSLog(#"scale = %f",[[UIScreen mainScreen] scale]);
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] > 1.0) {
NSLog(#"Retina Display iPad3");
}
else
{
NSLog(#"Non Retina Display iPad 1/2");
}
}
But when i run this code into my ipad 2 which has ios 7.1, i am getting , it is non-retina device and when i run this code into ipad retina device's simulator it is working perfectly there.
Any guideline?
The code is correct. The iPad 2 does not have a Retina screen.

How to detect iPhone 5 (widescreen devices)?

Closed 9 years ago.
if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone){
CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
//NSLog(#"phonesize%#",result);
if(result.height > 500){
NSLog(#"iPhone 5");
}
else{
NSLog(#"iPhone 4");
}
}
My Mac OS is 10.7.2 and Xcode 4.5.2.I used above code to find device is iPhone 4 or iPhone 5
It is giving iPhone4 when i uses iPhone5.I did set launch image and icon image. Is there anything else i missed out?
Make sure you have a PNG file named Default-568h#2x.png in your project.
You need to scale the result you got as per the screen's scale scale and then check ...
if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone){
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector: #selector(scale)]) {
CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
CGFloat scale = [UIScreen mainScreen].scale;
result = CGSizeMake(result.width * scale, result.height * scale);
if(result.height == 960) {
NSLog(#"iPhone 4");
}
if(result.height == 1136) {
NSLog(#"iPhone 5");
}
}
else{
NSLog(#"Standard Resolution");
}
}
Try this code instead its tested.
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] ==UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
{
//device is iPhone
CGRect screenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
if (screenBounds.size.height == 568) {
//device is iphone 5
//add storyboard/Xib that have large screen (320*568)
} else {
//device is iphone 4
//add story board/Xib that have small screen (320*480)
}
}
else
{
//device is iPad
}
if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
{
CGRect screenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
if (screenBounds.size.height == 568)
{
//iphone 5
else
{
//iphone 4
}
}
else
{
//iPad
}
Try this one might be helpful to you...
