PODjango - detect mobile device in views

Body
copied!<p>I am already using a device detection (<a href="http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2228/" rel="noreferrer">http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2228/</a>) in my templates and trying to also make it work in views, so i can redirect to the app store if a user comes from an iPhone.</p> <p>So I already had:</p> <pre><code>import re def mobile(request): device = {} ua = request.META.get('HTTP_USER_AGENT', '').lower() if ua.find("iphone") > 0: device['iphone'] = "iphone" + re.search("iphone os (\d)", ua).groups(0)[0] if ua.find("ipad") > 0: device['ipad'] = "ipad" if ua.find("android") > 0: device['android'] = "android" + re.search("android (\d\.\d)", ua).groups(0)[0].translate(None, '.') # spits out device names for CSS targeting, to be applied to <html> or <body>. device['classes'] = " ".join(v for (k,v) in device.items()) return {'device': device } </code></pre> <p>And then created a class in tools/middleware.py:</p> <pre><code>from tools.context_processor import mobile class detect_device(object): def process_request(self, request): device = mobile(request) request.device = device </code></pre> <p>Added the following to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in the settings.py:</p> <pre><code>'tools.middleware.detect_device' </code></pre> <p>And in views.py I created:</p> <pre><code>def get_link(request): if request.device.iphone: app_store_link = settings.APP_STORE_LINK return HttpResponseRedirect(app_store_link) else: return HttpResponseRedirect('/') </code></pre> <p>But I am getting the error: </p> <blockquote> <p>'dict' object has no attribute 'iphone'</p> </blockquote>
