Telephone Launch on Desktop issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 221

I have the following app that will launch the phone number correctly on a phone, however, there may be instances when someone completes this app on their desktop.  In that case, if someone clicks on the telephone button, it launches another blank screen on their desktop.  

 

Would anyone know how to avoid this from happening if launched on a desktop?

 

Thank you kindly!

    Hi @Shaguar357 

     

    you can use the size of screen to check if it a phone or desktop so;

    if(App.ActiveScreen.Size < 2, lunch(“your command”))

     

    App.ActiveScreen.Size < 2 it almost be a phone. You can check the breakpoint properties in your app Properties 

     

    hope this help

    Hi @BoHamad ,

     

    Thanks for your quick reply.  I added that to the app, however, it still wants to open another window.  

    I'm fairly new to building apps.  I did find the app breakpoint properties:  [1200, 1800, 2400], however, I'm not certain what to do with that information.

    Hi @Shaguar357 

     

    try to use App.activescreen.width 

     

    it gives you the width of your screen its a tricky way to detect if the width of the screen is high then it is a desktop then do not lunch the url so,

    try if the width < 400 the lunch else nothing

    Hi @BoHamad ,


    We're halfway there.  It's not opening a window on the desktop, but it's not launching on the phone now.

     

    Thanks!
