How detect tablet landscape on React Native - react-native

Question

I want to border margin of of screen S on phone and tablet to be different. There are variants for tablet landscape and portrait mode.
How to create different margin dimension for the variants on phone, tablet portrait, tablet landscape ?
For those curious how to do on Android , we just create some resource files at the right folder :
values for default
values-sw600dp for tablet default
values-sw600dp-land for tablet landscape

The other answers have already addressed the screen detection task. However, there is still the issue of detecting if the code is running on a Tablet device. You can detect that using the react-native-device-info package, in particular its isTablet method. So, as an example, in your component:
constructor(){
super();
this.state = {orientation: 'UNKNOWN'}
this._onOrientationChanged = this._onOrientationChanged.bind(this);
}
_onOrientationChanged(orientation){
this._setState({orientation})
}
componentDidMount(){
Orientation.addOrientationListener(this._onOrientationChanged);
}
componentWillUnmount(){
Orientation.removeOrientationListener(this._orientationDidChange);
}
render(){
let layoutStyles;
if(DeviceInfo.isTablet()){
layoutStyles = this.state.orientation == 'LANDSCAPE' ? landscapeTabletStyle : portraitTabletLandscape; // Basic example, this might get more complex if you account for UNKNOWN or PORTRAITUPSIDEDOWN
}else{
layoutStyles = this.state.orientation == 'LANDSCAPE' ? landscapeStyle : portraitLandscape;
}
render(){
<View style={[styles.container, layoutStyles]} // And so on...
}
}
Note that the state holds the UNKNOWN value on the beginning. Have a look at the getInitialOrientation() of the package function. I am intentionally leaving that bit out because it simply reads a property that is set when the JS code loads, and I am not sure if that satisfies your usecase (i.e. this is not your first screen). What I usually like to do is store the rotation value in a redux store (where I initialize the orientation value to that of getInitialOrientation() and then subscribe only once to the orientation listener).

I think this library will be helpful for you: https://github.com/yamill/react-native-orientation
You can do something like that with it:
Orientation.getOrientation((err,orientation)=> {
console.log("Current Device Orientation: ", orientation);
if(orientation === 'LANDSCAPE') {
//do stuff
} else {
//do other stuff
}
});

// Extract from the root element in our app's index.js
class App extends Component {
_onLayout = event => this.props.appLayout(event.nativeEvent.layout);
render() {
return (
<View onLayout={this._onLayout}>
{/* Subviews... */}
</View>
);
}
}
export const SET_ORIENTATION = 'deviceStatus/SET_ORIENTATION';
export function appLayout(event: {width:number, height:number}):StoreAction {
const { width, height } = event;
const orientation = (width > height) ? 'LANDSCAPE' : 'PORTRAIT';
return { type: SET_ORIENTATION, payload: orientation };
}
