Android tablet not recog as mobile

[seocam]

django-mobile is not able to tell me I'm in a mobile device when accessing from an Android tablet. This problem occurs in every browser I've tested.

Follow the user agents:

Android browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-us; GT-P7510 Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.30

Firefox for Android: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:29.0) Gecko/29.0 Firefox/29.0

Chrome for Android: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.0.4; GT-P7510 Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.141 Safari/537.36

Can we just check if android is present in the UA and set the flavour as mobile?

You can always override the middleware object like that:

class EnhancedMobileDetectionMiddleware(MobileDetectionMiddleware):
    user_agents_test_search = u"(?:%s)" % u'|'.join((
        'up.browser', 'up.link', 'mmp', 'symbian', 'smartphone', 'midp',
        'wap', 'phone', 'windows ce', 'pda', 'mobile', 'mini', 'palm',
        'netfront', 'opera mobi', 'android'
    ))

and include that in your settings.

But that's true, that android should be marked as mobile device.

We now have an example of a custom middleware: Please use this as the base to roll your own mobile detection middleware.
