This Cordova/PhoneGap Plugin indicates whether the current Android or iOS device is a tablet.
The plugin is registered on npm as uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.istablet
Using the Cordova/Phonegap CLI
$ cordova plugin add uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.istablet
$ phonegap plugin add uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.istablet
NOTE: Make sure your Cordova CLI version is 5.0.0+ (check with cordova -v). Cordova 4.x and below uses the now deprecated Cordova Plugin Registry as its plugin repository, so using a version of Cordova 4.x or below will result in installing an old version of this plugin.
Using Cordova Plugman
$ plugman install --plugin=uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.istablet --platform=<platform> --project=<project_path> --plugins_dir=plugins
For example, to install for the Android platform
$ plugman install --plugin=uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.istablet --platform=android --project=platforms/android --plugins_dir=plugins
Add the following xml to your config.xml to use the latest version of this plugin from npm:
<gap:plugin name="uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.istablet" source="npm" />
The plugin runs automatically when the app starts and sets an isTablet boolean property on the window object, so to use the plugin, simple inspect the value of window.isTablet.
For example:
alert("This device is "+(window.isTablet?'':'NOT')+" a tablet");
