Rails way to detect mobile device?
You can do it that way by defining a function like below:
def mobile_device? if session[:mobile_param] session[:mobile_param] == "1" else request.user_agent =~ /Mobile|webOS/ endendOr you can use gems to detect mobile devices like
In application_helper.rb:
def device agent = request.user_agent return "tablet" if agent =~ /(tablet|ipad)|(android(?!.*mobile))/i return "mobile" if agent =~ /Mobile/ return "desktop"endThen you can use it in your views:
<% if device == "mobile" %> Show something for mobile users.<% end %>
