How to determine which platform the current app is running on in LibGDX?

I need to offer slightly different app logic depending on the deployment platform my LibGDX app is running on, i.e. Desktop or Android, etc., does the LibGDX API offer a method of identifying the current runtime platform?

This post, "abstracting platform specific code in libGDX" offers a solution of sorts, I'm just wondering if there is something directly available in the API itself (?).

If people are having trouble figuring out where you actually get the ApplicationType from, it's accessed from:

Gdx.app.getType()

And for a working example this would do:

if(Gdx.app.getType() == ApplicationType.iOS) {
    //Do awesome stuff for iOS here
}

You could potentially use Application#getType(), which will return one of the values defined by Application.ApplicationType:

  • Android
  • Applet
  • Desktop
  • iOS
  • WebGL
