Programatically determining whether device is a Phone or Tablet

I've got an application with an activity containing 2 layouts:

Normally, I check the detail side of functionality with:

if (findViewById(R.id.application_detail_container) != null) {
    // The detail container view will be present only in the
    // large-screen layouts (res/values-w900dp).
    // If this view is present, then the
    // activity should be in two-pane mode.
    mTwoPane = true;
}

How can I convert such approach to use data binding?

You could simply define a resource in your strings.xml file

In values/strings.xml.

<bool name="is_tablet">false</bool>

In values-w900dp/string.xml

<bool name="is_tablet">true</bool>

Access this resource from any where in your code. This should solve your issue.

For example :

 boolean isTablet = getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.is_tablet);
