Detecting Chromebooks

[andyh1234]

Hi

As standard the manifest file includes Chromebooks, but the exactfit scaling doesn't work, it had some quite odd effects.

Can anyone suggest a way to detect a Chromebook install so I can have it comment out the scaling, the app works perfectly well just left the default / designed size (but scaling is absolutely needed for phones and tablets).

All come back as android devices.

I use "the machine" which has the word "Chromebook" in it somewhere for my very limited number of test devices. No promises that's universal but so far it seems to work.

Thank you!

Frustratingly the machine returns 'coral' on my Asus Chromebook.

Thanks anyway, if anyone has any other suggestions Ill be happy to try them!

Thanks

That's too bad, but good to know. Sounds like my method won't work and I don't know any other way to get the info.

From left field again...

Is there any way that you can identify them based on the screen rect? Are they bigger or are they a specific aspect ratio that you could get at runtime, and then disable the scaling routine?

Just throwing it out there...

Unfortunately not, the ones I have emulate androids so they throw out random screen rects, but it was worth a shot, thanks for the suggestion.
