Re: AW: adjust my web application for smartphone like iPhone
Both excellent suggestions - thanks! The thought had struck me that this problem is similar to localisation. Perhaps I could extend certain components to accept a style as well as a locale where necessary.

Re: AW: adjust my web application for smartphone like iPhone
Hi, The way I do this is to use the style attribute in the wicket session. Wicket's default ResourceStreamLocator looks for files with the pattern filename_style_locale.html and falls back to filename.html So I have a RequestCycleListener that decides based on headers what type of a request it is, and sets the style on the session, say for ex. mobile. Wicket in turn serves pages TemplatePage_mobile.html if it finds it, otherwise it falls back to TemplatePage.html So I can contribute the mobile.css and have a complete custom mobile view of the page in a customized _mobile.html if I need to, otherwise the same version used for desktop is being served. - http://balamaci.wordpress.com -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/adjust-my-web-application-for-smartphone-like-iPhone-tp4235060p4236699.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
Re: AW: adjust my web application for smartphone like iPhone
Using css media queries is not necessarily the correct answer for responses to smartphone requests. Media queries form part of the toolkit which comes under the banner of 'Responsive Web'. The problem with media queries on their own is that you may ask a smartphone to download a large image and hence incur an expensive phone bill only to let the smartphone shrink the downloaded image to fit on the screen. It would have been better to download a smaller image in the first place. I believe what is needed is something that analyses the browser request as it enters the server and different page designs generated according to the actual browser device dimensions. Actually, this very question has been on my mind for a little while and I'm glad someone else (Mili) has asked first! The last time I looked into this the best way of detecting the capabilities of the browser was WURFL: - http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ And to learn a bit more about why media queries are not necessarily the best answer: - http://www.delicious.com/redirect?url=http%3A//www.cloudfour.com/css-media-query-for-mobile-is-fools-gold/ Regards, David Legg On 26/12/2011 22:33, Stefan Lindner wrote: This is a css case.

Re: AW: adjust my web application for smartphone like iPhone
There was a posting about this about a year ago in regards to Walmart's mobile site. I believe the best way to handle this is use the idea of localization. Basically create localized versions of your pages using the wicket built in tools. Instead of basing localization off of country/language use the browser type and device type. There are examples to do localization in wicketstuff examples.
