We would want the desktop view if they were on a desktop. However, since
respondr is also used for mobile, if on a mobile phone/tablet we would want
them to see the mobile view of that portlet.
The best solution would be to have a portlet that is responsive like the
framework, but just trying to have a middle step due to resource constraints.
I may do the userAgent thing in the mean time.
Thanks for the suggestion.?

My horrible suggestion is you can check the requests' user-agent and determine
(on a per portlet basis) what to do w/ specific user agents
String userAgent = request.getProperty("user-agent");
However now you have to do this with every portlet. One of the more uglier
solutions.
If you're using Respondr wouldn't you want the default (or in this case
"desktop") view anyway?

Hi Devs,
We came across an interesting problem and I'm curious if anyone else has had
this issue. We are using the portlet-utils project in the CoursesPortlet and we
use the method
https://github.com/Jasig/portlet-utils/blob/master/portlet-mvc-util/src/main/java/org/jasig/portlet/utils/mvc/ThemeNameViewSelectorImpl.java#L30
a lot to decide to show mobile based portlets. This uses themes to determine
mobile or not. Now that we are on respondr which is used for mobile and desktop
it is always showing desktop. Really we should do something like the Spring.io
project https://spring.io/guides/gs/device-detection/ but that doesn't seem to
play nice with portlets.
Does anyone have an alternative method/example to figure out mobile or desktop
on the server side with portlets?
?Thanks in advance. Happy new year!
