Different syntax needed for web and android #18

Description

@will123195

It took a lot of trial and error to figure this out, but web requires the shorthand object syntax, whereas android requires the more verbose query syntax.

For example, this is how I got it working:

App.js:

import '@expo/match-media'

useScreenSize.js

import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
import { Platform } from 'react-native'

let mobile = { maxWidth: 599 }
let tablet = { minWidth: 600, maxWidth: 999 }
let desktop = { minWidth: 1000 }

if (Platform.OS !== 'web') {
  mobile = { query: `(max-device-width: ${mobile.maxWidth}px)` }
  tablet = { query: `(min-device-width: ${tablet.minWidth}px) and (max-device-width: ${tablet.maxWidth}px)` }
  desktop = { query: `(min-device-width: ${desktop.minWidth}px)` }
}

export default function useScreenSize() {
  const isMobile = useMediaQuery(mobile)
  const isTablet = useMediaQuery(tablet)
  const isDesktop = useMediaQuery(desktop)
  return {
    isMobile,
    isTablet,
    isDesktop,
    isMobileOrTablet: isMobile || isTablet,
    isTabletOrDesktop: isTablet || isDesktop
  }
}
