How detect mobile user in application.(WURFL)
  1. Read the user-agent string from the HTTP request.
  2. Find a tag in the wurfl.xml file whose user_agent attribute matches
  3. with the user-agent string.
  4. Look for the wml_ui capability group inside the tag of step 2.
  5. Check whether a capability named menu_with_select_element_recommended exists
  6. within the capability group of the device. If it exists, read the value of the
  7. capability. You've found what you were looking for, so no more processing is
  8. required.
  9. If the capability doesn't exist, follow the fall-back path. Find the
  10. tag whose id attribute matches with the fall_back attribute of the tag
  11. of step 2.
  12. Repeat steps 3 through 5 using the tag of step 5. Keep repeating until
  13. you find the menu_with_select_element_recommended capability or you reach the
  14. most generic tag.
