I want to create generic responsive templates,
which media-queries
i have to use if i want to detect all the devices sizes?
Responsiveness is an important part of modern web development. However in the early days we had less number of devices and had the liberty to write as many media queries as we wanted. With time, the screen ratios changed and still keep evolving.
@media is the actually media query. The word screen is adding the 'conditions' to the media query. So @media screen is telling the media query to apply (whatever other conditions) to screens. For example, @media screen and (max-width: 360px) will target only screens with a max-width of 360px.
Check this Common CSS Media Queries Break Points
/*------------------------------------------
Responsive Grid Media Queries - 1280, 1024, 768, 480
1280-1024 - desktop (default grid)
1024-768 - tablet landscape
768-480 - tablet
480-less - phone landscape & smaller
--------------------------------------------*/
@media all and (min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1280px) { }
@media all and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) { }
@media all and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 768px) { }
@media all and (max-width: 480px) { }
/* Portrait */
@media screen and (orientation:portrait) { /* Portrait styles here */ }
/* Landscape */
@media screen and (orientation:landscape) { /* Landscape styles here */ }
/* CSS for iPhone, iPad, and Retina Displays */
/* Non-Retina */
@media screen and (-webkit-max-device-pixel-ratio: 1) {
}
/* Retina */
@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
only screen and (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3/2),
only screen and (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5),
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5) {
}
/* iPhone Portrait */
@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) and (orientation:portrait) {
}
/* iPhone Landscape */
@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) and (orientation:landscape) {
}
/* iPad Portrait */
@media screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (orientation:portrait) {
}
/* iPad Landscape */
@media screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (orientation:landscape) {
}
I highly recomend using Bootstrap. Faster development. Also documentation is very complete. http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/
As for your question, you have this example:
/*Anything outside of media queries is for MOBILE
This is Mobile first approach.
*/
/* Small devices (tablets, 768px and up) */
@media (min-width: 768px) { ... }
/* Medium devices (desktops, 992px and up) */
@media (min-width: 992px) { ... }
/* Large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up) */
@media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }
