PhoneGap app fit all sizes - javascript

So, I have just started using PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build to make and build my apps but I have one problem, how do I make my app fit all screen sizes like tablets and phones, is there something I have to do in the XML file or is there something else that PhoneGap requires me to do?

PhoneGap is natively responsive, so you do not need to do anything to make it work on different sized screens. That being said, you should follow the guidelines of responsive web desing to make sure your content looks good on all devices.

Force site to load mobile rather than desktop

I'm using a JS library (Pannellum) that enables use of the motion sensors available in Apple devices, but when I view my site on a large iPad (12.9-inch) it defaults to the desktop site and makes the library think the sensors aren't available. If you 'Request mobile site' in Safari's settings then it will work, but I'm trying to work out how to make it load the mobile site by default. FWIW I don't have a separate mobile endpoint, it's just a static site using Bootstrap to determine CSS changes at various breakpoints. I'm sure the solution will likely be some missing value in the tag, but I haven't been able to find out what, most existing questions of this nature seem to ask how to do the opposite (force desktop view). Would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction!

How to render a mobile screen with mobile app running on desktop browser?

I want to create a web app such as this?
I already have a mobile app how do I display my mobile app like this on the large screens?
On large screens, I want a mobile and then mobile app running within it.
This is the link for the website shown in image
I want my Website to work like this, how can I achieve it?
I already have an mobile app made using ionic, what i want is to use that app for large screens like this website has used.
I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking.
To make responsive websites, you should use this:
#media (min-width: Xpx) {
}
You can define your minimum width here, that indicates the size of browser at which these settings should be applied. If you're using sass, nest this and apply your browser-sized settings there.
I hope that was helpful, but maybe I misunderstood the question and it's more complicated
I don't have any experience of this problem but there is a dedicated article here: https://ionicframework.com/blog/tips-tricks-for-ionic-on-desktop/
This can be created by using an Iframe on the Desktop.
So I created an SVG for the borders of the mobile and rendered my app inside the SVG using the Iframe.
Since I am using Iframe so my app takes mobile width as viewport width and is rendered as it should on mobile.

New method for getting device type for mobile webpages

I've been researching for a good way to get the devicetype to trigger mobile websites and many people still use script that gets the screen width/height in pixels to determine if mobile devices are used or not.
But mobile phones/tablets have extremely high resolution screens so we need to get another way to trigger a switch between normal websites and mobile websites.
Screen sizes are around 1,280 x 768 - 1920x1080 for mobile phones and 1920x1080 to 2560x1600 for tablets.
What is the correct error-proof method to determine mobile or not?
I'd like not to use javascript over php, if there's an easier method then javascript please tell!
you can make the mobile website responsive trough Media Queries in your CSS
It will overwrite your normal CSS for the website. Media Queries will check for resolutions and what you put in the media query will be shown like that in a resolution like that

With Javascript you can do check the browser with the code I found on this page:

with that code you can redirect to a website specially designed for mobile website

CSS/HTML/JS: what to watch out for when building website that will have a mobile layout

I'm building a website that will need to have diff mobile layouts depending on the screen size of the device but I don't want to have to design entirely new layouts for each device. So I was wondering if there are things I need to watch out for that don't convert well into a mobile layout? Or how to set up the original to scale well to smaller devices. Thanks a lot
Read about media queries:

Then read about responsive layouts done with purely CSS:

This is basically all about styles and sometimes javascript (if you want to make responsive design)
