Detecting resolutions on an iOS Simulator using PhoneGap

As a newcomer to the world of development, I am diving into the process of creating iOS apps using Phonegap. To accommodate different resolutions, I have developed four separate CSS files.

<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 1024px)" href="css/ipad.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 2048px)" href="css/ipad-retina.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" href="css/iphone.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 960px)" href="css/iphone-retina.css" type="text/css" />

I've noticed that when testing in the Simulator, it consistently loads the same CSS file regardless of which device I select. Is there a way to ensure that the correct css files are being loaded?

Thank you for your help! By the way, can someone confirm if my CSS calls are set up correctly?

Answer №1

Below is a solution to achieve the desired outcome, along with the specific CSS required for each section.

/* Regular Display */
    @media screen and (-webkit-max-device-pixel-ratio: 1) {
    }

    /* High-Resolution Displays */
    @media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
    only screen and (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3/2),
    only screen and (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
    only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5) {
    }

    /* iPhone in Portrait Mode */
    @media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) and (orientation:portrait) {
    } 

    /* iPhone in Landscape Mode */
    @media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) and (orientation:landscape) {
    }

    /* iPad in Portrait Mode */
    @media screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (orientation:portrait) {
    }

    /* iPad in Landscape Mode */
    @media screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (orientation:landscape) {
    }
