How to detect ONLY with CSS mobile screens

Question

I've found a lot of threads here talking about CSS and mobile screens.

After searching, I couldn't find a solution for some devices. For example: Motorola Moto G4 Plus uses FULL HD width(1080px), only bootstraps detect the xs-view configuration.

Styling and trying and trying I couldn't get some styles set up.

So, how can I make the same procedure as Bootstrap to set up my styles and in the general procedure for all devices?

Please, only CSS or as much JS(if it possible, don't), the same as bootstrap.

I've tried the @media screen and @media all queries. Doesn't work.

Thanks for reading.

Answer 1

All touch screen and mobile devices (including tablets, smartphones) can be detected with css with the following @media rule.

@media only screen and (hover: none) and (pointer: coarse){

/* Regular CSS rules here*/

}

Answer 2

The @media rule is used to define different style rules for different media types/devices.

If it doesnt work, check your code. you might have made a typo somewhere.

Example:

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 640px) {
    /* Styles */
}
    
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 768px) {
    /* Styles */
}

Answer 3

CSS media query works, but what about ipads with big screens? You can do the following with javascript:

if (window.orientation !== undefined) {
  document.body.classList.add("mobile");
}

Answer 4

I found this code and works in all classic android devices:

  /* For Mobile Portrait View */
@media screen
  and (max-device-width: 480px)
  and (orientation: portrait){
    html{
     background-color: red;
     width: 80%;
    }
}
 
/* For Mobile Landscape View */
@media screen
  and (max-device-width: 640px)
  and (orientation: landscape){
   html{
      background-color: red;
     
    }
}
 
/* For Mobile Phones Portrait or Landscape View */
@media screen
  and (max-device-width: 640px){
    html{
      background-color: red;
     
    }
}

Answer 5

For IOS (IPhone and IPAD) - and Mozilla on Android:

@media only screen and (hover: none) and (pointer: coarse){
/* Regular CSS rules here*/
}

but for Chromium on Android:

@media only screen and (hover: hover) and (pointer: coarse){
/* Regular CSS rules here*/

}
