    <p>I'm developing a web application that uses PhoneGap:Build for a mobile version and want to have a single codebase for the 'desktop' and mobile versions. I want to be able to detect if PhoneGap calls will work (ie, is the user on a mobile device that will support PhoneGap).</p> <p>I've searched and cannot believe there is no simple way of doing this. Many people have offered suggestions;</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?144127-Checking-if-running-in-PhoneGap-or-Mobile-Web-Browser">http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?144127-Checking-if-running-in-PhoneGap-or-Mobile-Web-Browser</a></li> <li><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/browse_thread/thread/322e80bd41bb1a54/a421300eb2a2029f?lnk=gst&amp;q=detect+desktop#a421300eb2a2029f">http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/browse_thread/thread/322e80bd41bb1a54/a421300eb2a2029f?lnk=gst&amp;q=detect+desktop#a421300eb2a2029f</a></li> <li><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/browse_thread/thread/8a95dfeb0f313792/3ff10d8f35211739?lnk=gst&amp;q=detect+desktop+browser#3ff10d8f35211739">http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/browse_thread/thread/8a95dfeb0f313792/3ff10d8f35211739?lnk=gst&amp;q=detect+desktop+browser#3ff10d8f35211739</a></li> </ul> <p>None of which work, unless you remove the PhoneGap Javascript file from the desktop version of the app, which defeats my goal of having one codebase.</p> <p>So far the only solution I have come up with is browser / user agent sniffing, but this is not robust to say the least. Any better solutions welcome!</p> <p>EDIT: A marginally better solution is to try calling a PhoneGap function after some small timeout - if it doesn't work, then assume the user is on a desktop web browser.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
