What is the best way to detect a mobile device in jQuery?
Is there a solid way to detect whether or not a user is using a mobile device in jQuery? Something similar to the CSS @media attribute? I would like to run a different script if the browser is on a handheld device.
The jQuery $.browser function is not what I am looking for.
Instead of using jQuery you can use simple JavaScript to detect it:
if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
// some code..
}
Or you can combine them both to make it more accessible through jQuery...
$.browser.device = (/android|webos|iphone|ipad|ipod|blackberry|iemobile|opera mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()));
Now $.browser will return "device" for all above devices
Note: $.browser removed on jQuery v1.9.1 . But you can use this by using jQuery migration plugin Code
A more thorough version:
var isMobile = false; //initiate as false
// device detection
if(/(android|bbd+|meego).+mobile|avantgo|bada/|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|ip(hone|od)|ipad|iris|kindle|Android|Silk|lge |maemo|midp|mmp|netfront|opera m(ob|in)i|palm( os)?|phone|p(ixi|re)/|plucker|pocket|psp|series(4|6)0|symbian|treo|up.(browser|link)|vodafone|wap|windows (ce|phone)|xda|xiino/i.test(navigator.userAgent)

For me small is beautiful so I'm using this technique:
In CSS file:
/* Smartphones ----------- */
@media only screen and (max-width: 760px) {
#some-element { display: none; }
}
In jQuery/JavaScript file:
$( document ).ready(function() {
var is_mobile = false;
if( $('#some-element').css('display')=='none') {
is_mobile = true;
}
// now i can use is_mobile to run javascript conditionally
if (is_mobile == true) {
//Conditional script here
}
});
My objective was to have my site "mobile friendly". So I use CSS Media Queries do show/hide elements depending on the screen size.
For example, in my mobile version I don't want to activate the Facebook Like Box, because it loads all those profile images and stuff. And that's not good for mobile visitors. So, besides hiding the container element, I also do this inside the jQuery code block (above):
if(!is_mobile) {
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/pt_PT/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=210731252294735";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
}
You can see it in action at http://lisboaautentica.com
I'm still working on the the mobile version, so it's still not looking as it should, as of writing this.

There is a JavaScript API built in for detecting media. Rather than using the above solution simply use the following:
$( document ).ready(function() {
var isMobile = window.matchMedia("only screen and (max-width: 760px)");
if (isMobile.matches) {
//Conditional script here
}
});
Browser Supports: http://caniuse.com/#feat=matchmedia
The advantage to this method is that it's not only simpler and shorter, but you can conditionally target different devices such as smartphones and tablets separately if necessary without having to add any dummy elements into the DOM.
According to Mozilla - Browser detection using the user agent:
In summary, we recommend looking for the string “Mobi” anywhere in the User Agent to detect a mobile device.
Like this:
if (/Mobi/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
// mobile!
}
This will match all common mobile browser user agents, including mobile Mozilla, Safari, IE, Opera, Chrome, etc.
Update for Android
EricL recommends testing for Android as a user agent also, as the Chrome user agent string for tablets does not include "Mobi" (the phone versions do however):
if (/Mobi|Android/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
// mobile!
}
