How would you be able to detect a screen size and input it progromatically depending on the device?

As Apples product line continues to expand. How would you about inputting the new image sizes programatically depending on the device and screen size? At the moment we are using this code:

''' UIImage *newImage = [self resizeImage:self.image toWidth:320.0f andHeight:480.0f];

''' which is ok for one particular device but know good in the 'real world' but how would you do it so the code detects the devices and inputs the parameters for you ?

thanks in advance

Gareth

In the view controller file you have two options:

Option 1: [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width

Option 2: self.view.frame.size.height self.view.frame.size.width

Or you could play around with Autolayout until it comes out right to how you want.
