how to check if request is from mobile?

[javaone9]

hi,

how to check if a request is from mobile? smart phone or tablet?

Is there a way to know device screen size?
so that I render different content depends on screen size?

Thanks,
Dave

Offtopic, this was second link Google returned...

and this is also in some PF js and server side code... But it just seems javaone9 is (as always) to lazy to search

Thanks for the link. It seems to me a overkill for a simple check.

I am wondering if PFM has an API to call like xyz.isMobile(), xyz.getScreenSize().

Ah, sorry, my bad, I posted wrong link, this is easier alternative: https://code.google.com/p/mobileesp/sou ... tInfo.java.

And when there are simple solutions, no wonder PF doesn't have this kind of functionality included No need to bloat own framework with something that is easy to add
