Android: Check if device has Touch support

Question

Is there any way to check if an Android device (phone) has Touchscreen support or not?

So if device has touchscreen I can fire a method where the user can choose something via touch, and if not then he can choose via hardware button input...

Answer 1

you could try something like this

getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature("android.hardware.touchscreen");

but that's been stated to not always work, specifically when a device is connected to a tv or other screen through hdmi, since it deals with the android player itself and not the connected device, but it should work for your needs.
