Is Android

Kuika's Is Android action allows you to determine whether the user's device is running on the Android operating system. For example, if a user is using your application on an Android phone or tablet, this action detects whether the device is running on the Android operating system and ensures that Android-specific features or content are displayed.

Technical Features

  • Operating System Detection: Returns whether the device is Android or not as a boolean (True/False).
  • Web and Mobile App Support: Supported in web and mobile apps.
  • Conditional Logic: Different actions or UI elements can be enabled on Android devices.

Is Android Action Application Steps

  1. Log in to the Kuika platform.
  2. Open the project you want to work on from the Apps screen.
  3. Go to the UI Design module and select the screen where you want to add the action.
  4. Open the Properties panel on the right side.
  1. Select the button and add the Device > Is Android action from the + ADD ACTION menu according to the trigger event you want (Initial Actions, OnClick, OnBlur, etc.).
  2. Save your settings by clicking the SAVE button.

Use Case: Checking if the Device is Running on the Android Operating System and Providing Platform-Specific Content

In a mobile application, you want to check if the user's device is running on the Android operating system and provide Android-specific features and content. This process can be performed when the application is opened or when a button is triggered on a specific screen.

Adding an Action to Check the Android Operating System

  1. Enter the UI Design module and drag and drop a Button element from the Elements panel on the left side.
  2. In the Properties panel, enter a phrase such as ‘Android Check’ in the Label section of the button.
  3. Select the relevant button and add the OnClick → Device → Is Android action from the + ADD ACTION menu.

Configuring the Is Android Action

  • This action has no parameters; when the action is executed, it determines whether the device is running the Android operating system.
  • The action result is returned as a boolean (True/False).
  • You can use this result to perform conditional operations or display different UI elements within the application.
  • When the user clicks the ‘Android Control’ button, the Is Android action is triggered.
  • If the action result is True, the application activates features optimised for Android devices (e.g., Android-specific notifications or settings).
  • If the result is False, alternative content or an experience suitable for other platforms is presented.

Is Android Action Advanced Customisations

  • Conditional Action Integration: Different processes can be triggered by conditional branching based on the action result.
  • Dynamic UI Update: Different UI elements can be shown or hidden on Android devices.
  • Platform-Specific Notifications: Android-specific notification and permission structures can be integrated.
  • Multi-Platform Management: Different experiences can be offered to Android and iOS users within the same application.

Technical Risks

  • Application Incompatibility: Full support may not be available on some browsers or devices in web applications. The application should be tested on different applications.
  • Performance Impact: Performance issues may occur in frequently triggered actions, especially with complex and resource-intensive condition checks. Therefore, trigger frequency and process complexity should be optimised.

Is Android action detects whether your Kuika applications are running on the Android operating system and ensures that platform-specific features and user experience are managed correctly. Supported on both web and mobile platforms, this action helps your application run smoothly and efficiently on devices with different operating systems.
