spring-boot mobile-devices jcenter spring-boot-gradle-plugin

Spring Boot 2 NoSuchMethodException: org.springframework.mobile.device.Device.<init>()

Recently I tried to update my Spring Boot application version from 1.5.10.RELEASE to 2.0.0.RELEASE

Project Environment

JDK version 1.8
jcenter() repository in Gradle
IDE Spring tool Suite (STS) Version: 3.9.2

I have encountered two issues

I got the completion issue below.

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'. Could not find org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-mobile:

Then I checked the latest version of spring-boot-starter-mobile library and there’s no stable version of spring-boot-starter-mobile for Spring Boot 2.

So I had to declare milestone URL using maven to import version: '2.0.0.M5' and issue has resolved.

maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/milestone' }

Originally I was using jcenter() and is it possible to import milestones using jcenter?
I’m getting the following runtime error when access the mobile device interface below.

org.springframework.mobile.device.Device

public ResponseEntity<?> TestM(@RequestBody MyRequest myRequest, Device device) throws AuthenticationException {



    return ResponseEntity.ok();
}

Is there any major changes regarding the device access in Spring Boot 2? In that case please advise the correct method.

Solution

I have configured manually and resolved this issue

Device detection

Add the following Java-based configuration to enable device detection in a Spring web application:

@Bean
public DeviceResolverHandlerInterceptor 
        deviceResolverHandlerInterceptor() {
    return new DeviceResolverHandlerInterceptor();
}

@Bean
public DeviceHandlerMethodArgumentResolver 
        deviceHandlerMethodArgumentResolver() {
    return new DeviceHandlerMethodArgumentResolver();
}

@Override
public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
    registry.addInterceptor(deviceResolverHandlerInterceptor());
}

@Override
public void addArgumentResolvers(
       List<HandlerMethodArgumentResolver> argumentResolvers) {
   argumentResolvers.add(deviceHandlerMethodArgumentResolver());
}

Inject the Device into your controller

@Controller
public class HomeController {

private static final Logger logger = 
        LoggerFactory.getLogger(HomeController.class);

@RequestMapping("/")
public void home(Device device) {
    if (device.isMobile()) {
        logger.info("Hello mobile user!");
    } else if (device.isTablet()) {
        logger.info("Hello tablet user!");
    } else {
        logger.info("Hello desktop user!");         
    }
}

}

As @erhanasikoglu pointed out;

Since WebMvcConfigurerAdapter is deprecated, only need to implements WebMvcConfigurer interface inside that configuration class. (https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/servlet/config/annotation/WebMvcConfigurerAdapter.html)
