Hi,

I want to know, whether my script is running in Touch UI device or not. Any ideas how to do this?

e32.pys60_version() won't work, because I can run both 1.4.x and 1.9.x in 5th ed device.

e32.s60_version_info() won't work, because it only tells which SDK was used to compile "the application" == python runtime or shell. I can run apps made with 3.2 SDK in 5th ed device.

I could check screen resolution, but that's not future-proof at all. I could detect, whether current device screen resolution is similar to 5800 and make a guess that this device could be a Touch UI device... but I could never be 100% sure.

Any more ideas? For PyS60 1.4.x branch for the moment, if possible. For non-touch devices I can use full-screen, but for touch devices I need to leave Options menu visible

Wondering,

I would also say to detect screen resolution, but as you mentioned, you would never be sure. As far as I know, there is no way to detect exactly in current release. Although, should be easy to implement a function for that, so I hope it will be in 1.9.3



BR,

Rafael.

From a C++ point of of view it is done via the AknLayoutUtils::PenEnabled()API.

Note that this API was not exported in FP0 (MR) devices, but there is a workaround here

Thanx! Created CR for PyS60 1.9.x branch, but not sure if those fellows even look at the CRs. Must be busy with lots of other things. Anyway, now there is a reminder. Don't really want to use/write any extensions myself, they are too much trouble.

While browsing manual, found another solution: sysinfo.os_version() should return "the operating system version number of the device as a three element tuple (major version, minor version, build number).". It's still not quite good enough, there could be touch ui devices based on 3.x branch and non-touch devices based on 5.x branch, but for now it's good enough.

...I mean, if major is 5 or more, then I use "large", otherwise "full"...

Thanx,

There will most certainly be an API exposed to check if the device is touch enabled or not. This will be available in one of the dot releases when touch support is added.

Thanx !!!

Happy to hear that R&D team is following the DiBo

For future reference, appuifw.touch_enabled() has been introduced with PyS60 1.9.3. How to check for touch support in Python.

That was fast, thanx

You know that if you don't bother handling feature requests, pretty soon nobody will bother making new ones. Yep, bureaucracy is a bother.

Bother,

--jouni guessing you're using some other non-public system to handle feature requests and defect reports
