Determ in code - if running in simulator?

Hi,

Is it possible to "determ" if the device is running in a simulator or in a real phone by code?

When coding for geolocation, it would have been nice to manually code my long and latitude positions…..

    if (Titanium.Platform.model == 'google_sdk' || Titanium.Platform.model == 'Simulator') { //Whatever is unique to simulator }

    Something in this lines…

    • Perhaps the API has changed since this answer was posted, but the string to test for the iPhone Simulator should say 'iPhone Simulator' and not 'Simulator'. The 'google_sdk' string is still correct to test for the Android Emulator.

    • Things keep changing. Currently when I debug my device model as provided by Titanium, it just says "Simulator" when testing on iPhone Simulator or iPad Simulator.
