Showing information about browsers

It could happen that we need browser information in our application. Knowing more about the user can help us with making applications more user-friendly. For example, we could exclude some components in case the browser window is too small or we could display different content to Mac users.

Let's have a look at how to list all the available information about a client web browser.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps:

1. First, we get the current page and call the getBrowserWindowHeight and getBrowserWindowWidth methods. As the names of the methods suggest, these two methods return the browser width and height.

   Page page = Page.getCurrent();
   int browserWindowHeight = page.getBrowserWindowHeight();
   int browserWindowWidth = page.getBrowserWindowWidth();

2. Then, we get the instance of the web browser. The WebBrowser class represents the client's browser and there are many interesting getters there. Let's go through a few of them one by one.
