Device Detection

[Troy Clemons]

I am using the Kendo UI/Mobile UI, is there a way to return
the current IOS version in javascript. I need to hide certain
controls (file upload mainly) as iOS does not support this type
pre iOS7.

Thanks

Hello Troy,

Please check the mobileOS field in the kendo support object.

I followed your link, and it does give the code I was looking for. But there is a small problem.

kendo.support.mobileOS only returns true or false

there is no device, majorVersion, minorVersion or os.flatVersion capable in anything
that is returned or available.

I am using the latest and greatest Kendo UI/Mobile

support.mobileOS

device String

Returns the current mobile device identifier, can be "fire", "android", "iphone", "ipad", "meego", "webos", "blackberry", "playbook", "wp", "windows".

tablet String (default: false)

Returns the current tablet identifier or false if the current device is not a tablet, can be "fire", "ipad", "playbook" or false.

browser String (default: "default")

Returns the current browser identifier or "default" if the browser is the native one, can be "omini", "omobile", "firefox", "mobilesafari", "webkit", "ie", "default".

name String

Returns the current os name identifier, can be "ios", "android", "blackberry", "windows", "webos", "meego". For convenience a property with the os name is also initialized, for instance:

majorVersion String

The current OS major version, e.g. "5" in iOS 5.1.

minorVersion String

The current OS minor versions, e.g. "1.1" in iOS 5.1.1.

flatVersion Number

A convenience property to allow easier version checks, for instance:
var os = kendo.support.mobileOS;
if (os.ios && os.flatVersion >= 400 && os.flatVersion < 500) {
    // Do something in iOS 4.x
}

disregard the last post, if on desktop you only return false, but on mobile device it returns all available
variables with there correct returned information.

Thanks
