Are you having the user select their device and then calling the specs via a webapi? ---

Hi, I was able to display the width using the web viewer but how do you save the result into a list so I can extract the bit i need? or Is there no way of extracting the phone size without needing to connect to the internet? ---

Without the use of the Internet, this is not possible in the current version of Thunkable X ---

OK I get it but when the info is displayed via web viewer, how do i extract the data? ---

So output the data not in the WebViewer, but in any other component. I display it in a WebViewer in order to format the data. ---

Maybe I am missing something. The script is called via URL which web viewer is currently able to do. If I am using label, there is no URL to get the data first before outputting it into text. ---

I’ll give you an answer later. You must use a web server or the Firebase Javascript API to get the given dimensions in the app. At the forum, I somewhere gave such a message. Need to search. ---
