In ASP.NET WebForms we have an option to check whether the requested device is Mobile or not – Request.IsMobileDevice, which is not appropriate in most of the scenarios! I mean, it’s failing to detect the device type correctly!
Now, we discuss about custom solution for ASP.NET WebForms – detect the device type and redirecting!
Suppose if you have two versions of your web application – Mobile & Desktop, and you may wish to get the device information and redirect the user to the appropriate web app based on the requested device
private string DeviceName()
{
string DeviceName = "Other"; // Desktop
string[] MobileDevices = new string[] { "iPhone", "iPad","iPod","BlackBerry",
"Nokia", "Android", "WindowsPhone",
"Mobile"
};
foreach (string MobileDeviceName in MobileDevices)
{
if ((Request.UserAgent.IndexOf(MobileDeviceName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) > 0)
{
DeviceName = MobileDeviceName;
break;
}
}//end:foreach loop
return DeviceName;
}
if (DeviceName() == "Android")
{
//Response.Redirect("Mobile/Home.aspx");
lblMesage.Text = "Mobile Device " + DeviceName();
}
else
{
//Response.Redirect("Desktop/Home.aspx");
lblMesage.Text = "other device";
}
==================================
in Javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var isAndroid = ua.indexOf("android") > -1; //&& ua.indexOf("mobile");
if (isAndroid) {
window.location= "http://www.murlid05.blogspot.com";
}
});
