When does the system use the ActionBar height for the tablet

Question

I need to create a dimension that should be used only in the case that the system uses the ActionBar height for the tablet.

Does anyone know when the system think it is on a tablet and then uses this specific ActionBar height?

Any hints are greatly appreciated.

There's no such thing as a 'tablet' from the system's point of view. It's just a larger screen device, and such we can use a larger height.

To put it simply, you shouldn't need to know when this happens. Just use the code from @sarbjot

To give you a full answer we currently use:

default (portrait): 56dp
landscape: 48dp
sw600dp: 64dp
