Phaser. Device

Detects device support capabilities and is responsible for device initialization - see whenReady.

This class represents a singleton object that can be accessed directly as game.device
(or, as a fallback, Phaser.Device when a game instance is not available) without the need to instantiate it.

Unless otherwise noted the device capabilities are only guaranteed after initialization. Initialization
occurs automatically and is guaranteed complete before Phaser.Game begins its "boot" phase.
Feature detection can be modified in the onInitialized signal.

When checking features using the exposed properties only the truth-iness of the value should be relied upon
unless the documentation states otherwise: properties may return false, '', null, or even undefined
when indicating the lack of a feature.

Uses elements from System.js by MrDoob and Modernizr

Members

<static, nullable> onInitialized :Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched after device initialization occurs but before any of the ready
callbacks (see whenReady) have been invoked.

Local "patching" for a particular device can/should be done in this event.

Note: This signal is removed after the device has been readied; if a handler has not been
added before new Phaser.Game(..) it is probably too late.

The handler is invoked when the device is considered "ready", which may be immediately
if the device is already "ready". See deviceReadyAt.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
handler function

Callback to invoke when the device is ready. It is invoked with the given context the Phaser.Device object is supplied as the first argument.

context object <optional>

Context in which to invoke the handler

nonPrimer boolean <optional>
false

If true the device ready check will not be started.

Example
var defaultRenderingMode = Phaser.Device.isAndroidStockBrowser() ? Phaser.CANVAS : Phaser.AUTO;

Note that this only works in Firefox with Firebug and earlier versions of Chrome.
It used to work in Chrome, but then they removed the ability: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=revision&revision=151136
