Preprocessor-IF doesn't work

Question

I'm trying to check with Preprocessor-Ifs if the Device is an iPad. If it is an iPad, I want to define something Devicespecific, but for some reason I can't check in an PP-IF if a PP-Constant is true.

Maybe you got an idea?

#ifdef UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM

    #define IS_IPAD (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)

#else

    #define IS_IPAD false

#endif



#if IS_IPAD

    #define WIDTH 768
    #define HEIGHT 1024

#else

    #define WIDTH 320
    #define HEIGHT 480

#endif

Answer 1

Preprocessor rules are, (surprise, surprise) processed prior to building the app. Since it's an universal app, it doesn't yet know if it's running on an iPad or an iPhone.

Use this:

#ifdef UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM
    #define IS_IPAD (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
#else
    #define IS_IPAD false
#endif

#define WIDTH (IS_IPAD ? 768 : 320)
#define HEIGHT (IS_IPAD ? 1024 : 480)

Answer 2

This is my approach: you can use this in the header file

#define _IPAD ((__IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 30200) && (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad))
#define GUI_TITLE_LABEL_WIDTH    (_IPAD? 220*2 : 220)
#define UI_FONT_SIZE             (_IPAD? 20 : 16)

Short and easy :D
