Bindables

• DeviceManager.KeyboardConnectedProperty -> Will detect if an external keyboard is present
• DeviceManager.MouseConnectedProperty -> Will detect if an external mouse is present
• DeviceManager.TouchScreenConnectedProperty -> Will detect if an touch screen is present

Limitations

• Apple do not provide support for external keyboard detection, so this will ALWAYS return false (for now)
• Windows do not provide events for when the device state changes, therefore the plugin will poll for this information.

public static void SetPollingFrequency(TimeSpan pollingFrequency)
{
    // You can configure the polling frequency by calling this method in InternalDeviceManager, inside the WinRT and UWP projects
    // By default this is 5 seconds.
    _pollingFrequency = pollingFrequency;
}
