how to detect if the screen is capacitive or resistive in an Android device?

Question

I am developing an application that will behave slightly different depending on the type of screen. Is there any way to detect it?

Answer 1

I have a small trick to do it but requires a canvas. Just detecting in a motionEvent if

event.getPressure() > 0 then is capacitive ; event.getSize() > 0 then is resistive

the problem is I dont want to use a canvas just for detecting it :(
