Managing routing for mobile and web browsers

We are trying to create two views for our MVC app. Mobile and Web

These were the two links we followed

  1. Handling routing for both Desktop & Mobile Controllers in one instance of ASP.NET MVC
  2. Mixing ASP.NET MVC Display Mode Providers and Routing Rules

Created Account/Login.cshtml page and Account/Login.Mobile.cshtml page (with different layouts). Created a default route

routes.MapRoute(
   name: "DefaultMobile",
   url: "mobile/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
   defaults: new
             {
                 mobile = true,
                 controller = "Home",
                 action = "Index",
                 id = UrlParameter.Optional
             }
);

But the problem is that we are using routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes(); and generating urls like \login. Is there a way to force mobile/login to fetch mobile view. something that force the Routing to display mobile view if the url starts with '/mobile/'?

Or is there another way to do it?

if you're going to always use mobile in your url, you can just create an area called mobile that will always be at http://siteurl/mobile/ - JamieD77

You should be able to specify 2 route definitions with attribute routing as well, one for normal login and one for mobile

[Route("{type}/Login")]
[Route("Login")]
public ActionResult Login(string type = "")
{
    var isMobile = String.Equals(type,"mobile",StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

   // to do : Return something
}
