Kindle Fire HD 7" screen width

Postby danjackson » Wed Oct 02, 2013 8:56 am

Hi,

We're using wurfl at ucl.ac.uk; we have a 'breakpoint' at 767px, and serve a different navigation / banner element to devices with resolution_width <767. However, we're seeing a couple of false-positives, e.g. using Chrome on 2012 Nexus 7 (Android 4.3) the smallscreen code is requested, even though resolution_width is >800 according to the following UA:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.3; Nexus 7 Build/JWR66N) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.64 Safari/537.36

Could you suggest what might be going on here?

Thanks

Hi Dan,

What date of the WURFL.xml are you on? It is quite possible that the one you are on doesn't have the capability to resolve a Nexus 7 User Agent on Android 4.3.

BTW, was the title (Kindle Fire HD7) a typo?

Cheers!

If the capability is 800 and you compare against 767, then 800>767. Maybe a runaway '!' or 'NOT' ? are you using ENV variables? script to share?

Thanks

Hi,

@sriram,
Yes, the title was a mistake - I started off thinking about the KIndle Fire HD, which is also looking wrong.

This is the version info from the XML file (we have the licensed InFuze Apache module):
db.scientiamobile.com - 2013-09-22 00:50:25
It contains a device entry for Nexus 7 on Android 4.3 (line 435396)

@sm_support2,
we're using fairly straightforward Apache SSI's at the moment, eg

<!--#if expr="${UCL_CONTENT_SIZE} != 'l'"-->
<!--#include file="includes/header-smallscreen-home.html" -->
<!--#else -->
<!--#include file="includes/header-desktop-home.html" -->
<!--#endif -->

...where 'l' equates to screen_width > 767px

Thanks

Dan, I am a bit perplexed about this. I am not an expert in the Apache expression language, but there must be a way to express, greter, greater or equal and the like...

Anyway, can you point us to the URL for your service? We will take a look later today. Can you tell us more about how the UCL_CONTENT_SIZE variable gets its value?
