How to get the correct window width on orientation change for android devices both tablets and mobiles

I am trying to calculate the window width on orientation change for android devices using jquery function $(window).outerWidth(true);. This calculation gives correct width on orientation change for both iphone and ipad but not in android. If i initially load the page in landscape mode or portrait mode i am getting the correct width but once i change the orientation after loading the page i am getting the width for portrait mode as was in landscape mode and vice versa. Please suggest what is happening and how can i handle this issue so that i get the correct window width on orientation change in android device

Solution

  • Why not just use the javascript screen object. you should be able to get the screen dimensions with :

    screen.height;
screen.width;
