Sencha Touch API

The environment package in Sencha Touch gives you an API which tells about the environment your application is running on.

Operating System:
We can detect the operating system your application is running on using Ext.os.name.It retruns the following values:

• Android
• iOS
• Blackberry
• Other

You can also use the Ext.os.is singleton to check if the current OS matches a certain operating system.

if (Ext.os.is.Android) 

{ 

      // ... 

} 

if (Ext.os.is.MacOS) 

{ 

     // ... 

}

We can also detect if the device is an iPhone or iPad using Ext.os.is

if (Ext.os.is.iPad) 

{

   // ... 

}

we can also detect version of the operation system your application is running on using Ext.os.version

Browser:

We can find information about the browser you are running your application on by using Ext.browser.name

It returns the following values:

• Safari
• Chrome
• Opera
• IE
• Other

You can also use Ext.browser.is to check the current browser.

if (Ext.browser.is.Chrome) 

{ 

     // ... 

}

Features:

You can use the Ext.feature singleton to check if a certain browser feature exists.

For example, if you want to check if the browser supports canvas, you check use the following code:

if (Ext.feature.has.Canvas) 

{

     // ... 

}
