How to define functions to check the different mobile platforms:
$scope.app.isPreview=function() {// is in Preview
if(window.twx.app.isPreview()) return true;
return false; } // any other device type
//======================================
$scope.app.isIOS=function() {
if(!window.twx.app.isPreview()) // is not in Preview
if(ionic.Platform.isIOS()) //and is NOT called on IOS = means Android mode detected
return true;
return false; }
//======================================
//======================================
$scope.app.isAndroid=function() {
if(!window.twx.app.isPreview()) // is not in Preview
if(/android/i.test(navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera) ) // is Android
return true;
return false; }
//======================================
//======================================
$scope.app.isWinPhone=function() {
if(!window.twx.app.isPreview()) // is not in Preview
if(/windows phone/i.test(navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera) ) // is Android
return true;
return false; }
//======================================
or checking if device is a windows system (similiar)
//======================================
$scope.app.isWindow=function() {
if(!window.twx.app.isPreview()) // is not in Preview
if( navigator.platform.indexOf("Win32") >- 1) // is this WindowsPhone
return true;
return false; }
//========================================
The Vuforia Studio is based on cordova so that the most component works for all devices , but in some cases we can use some platfrom specific api. In this case it is important to check on which device the Vuforia app is started to select the platform specific API. Here an example:
//========================================
angular.element(document).ready(function () {
console.warn($scope)
console.warn($rootScope)
if($scope.app.isPreview())
{ $scope.setWidgetProp('label-3', 'text', "PREVIEW MODE");
twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("PREVIEW MODE","twLogo"); }
else if($scope.app.isIOS()){
$scope.setWidgetProp('label-3', 'text', "called on IOS Device");
twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("called on IOS Device","twLogo");
window.onorientationchange = readDeviceOrientation;}
else if($scope.app.isAndroid()) {
$scope.setWidgetProp('label-3', 'text', "called on Android Device");
twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("called on Android Device","twLogo"); }
else if($scope.app.isWindow()) {
$scope.setWidgetProp('label-3', 'text', "called on Window Plattform");
alert("called on Windows Phone Device"); }
//$scope.setWidgetProp('label-3', 'text', navigator.platform.toString())
if($scope.app.isPreview())
twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("PREVIEW MODE","twLogo");
else
{
$timeout(twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("navigator.platform="+navigator.platform,"twLogo"),3000); //after 3 sec
$timeout(twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("getMobileOperatingSystem()="+getMobileOperatingSystem(),"twLogo"),6000); //after 5 sec
$timeout(twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage("getPlatform()="+getPlatform(),"twLogo"),9000); //after 5 sec
}
//===========================================================
angular.element(window).on('resize', function(evt) {
console.log("resized window evnt : at Time ::"+$scope.getTime());
console.warn(evt);
var message = ''
var win = evt.path[0];
if(win.innerWidth > win.innerHeight){
// LANDSCAPE -> do something here call your landscapeFunc()
message = "current orientation is Landscape!"
$scope.$applyAsync();
}
else {
// LANDSCAPE -> do something here your PortraitFunc()
message = "current orientation is Portrait!"
$scope.app.params['myClass']='row3'
$scope.$applyAsync();
}
twx.app.fn.addSnackbarMessage(message,"twLogo");
});
Thanks, this is a great functionality. You can also use this to copy something to the clipboard depending on the operating system:
if (OSName=="Windows"){
var el = document.createElement('textarea');
// Set value (string to be copied)
el.value = str;
el.setAttribute('readonly', '');
el.style = {
position: 'absolute', left: '-9999px'};
document.body.appendChild(el);
el.select();
document.execCommand('copy');
document.body.removeChild(el);
console.log("copied to windows");
}
if (OSName=="MacOS"){
var oldContentEditable = str.contentEditable,
oldReadOnly = str.readOnly,
range = document.createRange();
str.contentEditable = true;
str.readOnly = false;
range.selectNodeContents(str);
var s = window.getSelection();
s.removeAllRanges();
s.addRange(range);
str.setSelectionRange(0, 999999);
// A big number, to cover anything that could be inside the element.
str.contentEditable = oldContentEditable;
str.readOnly = oldReadOnly;
document.execCommand('copy');
}
