Close, but I think you need to set request.format, and I'd probably do
that in a before filter.
class HomeController < ApplicationController
before_filter :set_device_mime_type
def set_device_mime_type
request.format = device_type?
end
def index
respond_to do |format|
#what you said
end
end
end
I'd also strongly suggest renaming that device_type? method to
something like device_mime_type since the question mark indicates that
it should be a predicate method.
It might also be a good idea to refactor this a bit so that you only
change the format of the request if it is coming from one of the
special devices, and leave it to what the client sent otherwise.
