public static void setIsDesktop(boolean isDesktop)
isDesktop to allow this global variable to be changed at
runtime. This advanced method is provided to override Smart GWT's detection of devices, since the framework can only
detect devices that existed at the time the platform was released. Any changes to isDesktop, isHandset, or
isTablet must be made before any component is created; it is
an application error to attempt to change isDesktop, isHandset, or
isTablet after components have been created. Note that setting Browser.isDesktop might
affect the values of isHandset and isTablet.

runtime. This advanced method is provided to override Smart GWT's detection of devices, since the framework can only
detect devices that existed at the time the platform was released. Any changes to isDesktop, isHandset, or

isTablet to allow this global variable to be changed at

isTablet - new setting for Browser.isTablet.public static void setIsTouch(boolean isTouch)
isTouch to allow this global variable to be changed at
runtime. This advanced method is provided to override Smart GWT's auto-detection logic, since the framework can only
detect touch devices that existed at the time the platform was released. Any change to isTouch must be made before any component is created; it is an
application error to attempt to change isTouch after components have been created. Note that
setting Browser.isTouch might affect the values of isDesktop, isTablet, and/or isHandset.

This typically implies that the application will be working with only 300-400 pixels.

Smart GWT can correctly determine whether the device is a tablet in most cases. On any
uncommon device for which this variable is incorrect, you can define the isc_isTablet
global in the host page with the correct value, and Smart GWT will use isc_isTablet for
Browser.isTablet instead of its own detection logic. Alternatively, you can use
setIsTablet(boolean) to change this global variable before any components are
created.

Smart GWT's auto-detected value for isTouch can be overridden via
setIsTouch(boolean).
