Can a mobile mime type fall back to “html” in Rails?

Question

I\'m using this code (taken from here) in ApplicationController to detect iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad requests:

before_filter :detect_mobile_request, :detec

You can in this case for the format to html. By example you want always use the html in user show method

class UserController

  def show
    ..your_code..
    render :show, :format => :html
  end
end

In this case, if you request show on User controller you render all the time the html version.

If you want render JSON too by example you can made some test about your type like :

class UserController

  def show
    ..your_code..
    if [:mobile, :tablet, :html].include?(request.format)
      render :show, :format => :html
    else
      respond_with(@user)
    end
  end

end
