Magento2: what is the best way to detect mobile device?

Question

I have used below code to detect mobile in magento1.

$isMobile = Zend_Http_UserAgent_Mobile::match(
    Mage::helper('core/http')->getHttpUserAgent(),
    $_SERVER
);

I am not sure if there is something available for Magento2 as well. Anyone have used something like this in magento2?

Answer 2

You can use same class in Magento2.

protected $httpHeader;

protected $mobileAgent;

public function __construct(
   ...
    \Magento\Framework\HTTP\Header $httpHeader,
    \Zend_Http_UserAgent_Mobile $mobileAgent
   ...
) {
    $this->httpHeader = $httpHeader;
    $this->mobileAgent = $mobileAgent
}

public function isMobile(){
  $userAgent = $this->httpHeader->getHttpUserAgent();

  return $this->mobileAgent->match($userAgent, $_SERVER); //the code which you want.
}

Answer 3

You can use below code

   protected $httpHeader;

   public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\Model\Context $context,
    \Magento\Framework\HTTP\Header $httpHeader,
    )
    {
         $this->httpHeader = $httpHeader;
         parent::__construct($context);
    }
    public function execute(){
      $userAgent = $this->httpHeader->getHttpUserAgent();
    }

Answer 4

You use this Library for Mobile Detect

Link

create custom module add library in module and create helper and put this function to global use.

  public function isMobile() 
  {
     return $this->mobileDetector->isMobile() || $this->mobileDetector->isTablet();
  } 

Add mobileDetector in your constructor to inject library.

Answer 5

You need to inject only one class "\Magento\Framework\HTTP\Header", because "\Zend_Http_UserAgent_Mobile::match" is a static method, so this will work:

/**
 * @var \Magento\Framework\HTTP\Header
 */
protected $httpHeader;

/**
 * @param \Magento\Framework\HTTP\Header $httpHeader
 */
public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\HTTP\Header $httpHeader
) {
    $this->httpHeader = $httpHeader;
}

/**
 * @return bool
 */
public function isMobile()
{
    $userAgent = $this->httpHeader->getHttpUserAgent();
    return \Zend_Http_UserAgent_Mobile::match($userAgent, $_SERVER);
}

Answer 6

I'm running Magento 2.3.2

I found that the easiest way is to add "Mobile_Detect.php" to the "magento_path/lib/internal" folder. Then call it into my .phtml template file using the following:

<?php 
include(BP.'/lib/internal/Mobile_Detect.php');
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();
if( $detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet() ){
    echo "Is Mobile";
} else{
    echo "Is Desktop";
}
?>

Hope this helps someone.
