Can we check the device to be smartphone or tablet in Flutter?

Question

I am actually trying to figure out if the app is running on a smartphone or tablet in my flutter app but the package device_info can only tell about the device but not whether the device is a smartphone or tablet. Is there a way we can do this by checking the size of the device?

Many thanks Mahi

Answer 1

// The equivalent of the "smallestWidth" qualifier on Android.
var shortestSide = MediaQuery.of(context).size.shortestSide;

// Determine if we should use mobile layout or not, 600 here is
// a common breakpoint for a typical 7-inch tablet.
final bool useMobileLayout = shortestSide < 600;
