Determining browser-resolution?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

is it possible to get the browser resolution in Web Dynpro ABAP?

Thanks for the answers.

Yes. It's called browser detection, see SAP note 1691128.

I'm talking about the browser's window size in pixels.

I want to develop several applications. Then i decide dependent on the devices' pixels whether taking the application with many UI-Elements(e.g. desktop browser) or less UI-Elements(mobile)

And that you can do without knowing the window/screen size. With the APIs already quoted here you will be able to distinguish between desktop browser and mobile. In the application you can display/hide elements accordingly.

Hi Charlie,

I don't believe the resolution of the browser is detectable though other properties, e.g., mobile device, of the browser are detectable by the method mentioned in the above note.

• Changing the Default Browser Detection
• Demo component WDR_TEST_USER_AGENT_INFO

Cheers,

I really need the resolution of the browser...

What about navigate to a BSP-Application via Suspend-Resume-Pluging?

Then i could determine the resoution with Java-Script.

Is it possible to export the required parameters in the BSP-Application and how can i read them?

Can you please clarify what you mean by "resolution of the browser". Hold on here. Do you mean the screen/window size in pixels?

If that is the case, WDA doesn't work like that. WDA is meant to implement a abstraction layer between the UI design and the device specific UI implementation. In WDA you can specify relative sizes (xxx %) or absolute sizes (xxx px) for all elements, including the layouts.

Can you describe your requirement in more detail. Why do you need to know the screen/window size?
