Question

Expression To return Screen type (Phone, Desktop, tab, desktop_wide etc)

I want to get the current screen type in which my interface opened.
Here screen type I mean : "PHONE" , "DESKTOP", "DESKTOP_WIDE" etc 
I tried using a!isPageWidth() but that is not working for my requirement.

Please help me with this.
Thank you in advance!!

    a!isNativePhone() and a!isNativeTablet() both functions are deprecated from appian new version.
    And these functions will return true/false.
    But my requirement is dt it has to return screen type only.
