window.getSize() on android

[snillo]

Hi,

did anyone else had problems with window.getSize() on Android devices? 

If i hold my tablet in landscape mode, i get a wrong width. In portrait mode the width is correct.

Using window.innerWidth works in both cases. 

I have no meta tag for viewport configuration, website is with HTML5 doctype.

i forgot; i'm using mootools 1.4.5, i'm calling window.getSize() on domready. The tablet is a Nexus 7 (browser = chrome), i have the same behaviour on my Samsung S2 (standart browser android 4.1)

I'm sorry, I can not assist you as I do not own an Android device.

Hi, maybe you can try tu use an orientation change (or onResize) event to trigger getSize()?

Hi,

i think the problem is not the orientation change or the "resize". Also when loading the page in landscape mode, getSize leads to wrong dimensions.

Hi,

there doesn't seem to be a problem with screen rotation and getSize() on an S2 (android 4.1.2 chrome browser) - http://jsfiddle.net/davepilbeam/jzP7F/ displays as expected in any orientation

are you using any responsive css? I found recently that measuring the viewport with any js (including getSize) before my responsive css gave me wrong co-ordinates in mobile chrome android..

Hi Dave,

thanks for your js fiddle. i obtain correct dimensions on my nexus 7 (chrome browser) as well. So as you said propably i get the wrong dimensions because of my html / css structure, not sure why but at least it seems that it isn't a bug in mootools.

I solved my issue by querying for android devices ...
