I want a scenario where in I have a website and when I connect my mobile device to my pc or laptop, the website must be able to detect the phone and not the phone browser. As in it should detect if my phone is an iphone or any other mobile device. How can I achieve this?
Basically if I have a downloadable application and a list of compatible devices and when a device is connected, a compatibility check needs to be done and the software has to be downloaded directly! Is this possible?
you must build an APP and not a WebAPP or website.
the browser cant send relevant information such MacAddress or IMEI then you cannot do it with a simple website.
In javascript you can detect navigation browser and it has some extra information about the kind of device (like Android, Motorola, etc). For example this.

I'm wondering whether it's possible to make an Android phone act as an NFC tag, so that when another phone "scans" it, they're directed to a website?
And if yes, is it possible to do this via the browser?
For example, Device A opens up my website, I generate an NFC URL and then when Device B "scans" the NFC tag, the URL is opened.
It is possible to an Android device to act as an NFC host (you use it when you pay via NFC in the store).
However it is not possible to control it via a web browser. Unfortunately you need an app to make this possible.
Update:
I just looked up, since Chrome 89 on Android there is an NFC API. I don't know if it actually works for your case, but you can check out: https://web.dev/nfc/

Make sure you connect your iOS device to your computer (by USB is recommended) in order to be able to allow your computer to directly communicate with the iOS device.
I am developing an Online Attendance System.I have a biometric fingerprint device plugged in to my PC and I want to get the fingerprint data in my angular app running in the browser so that I can authenticate it.How can i allow my browser to read the data from that USB device.I have read about some SDKs like WebUSB by Google but I am not sure whether it is the right technology.
WebUSB seems like promising though available from Chrome 64 only.
People using other browsers & older versions may not be able to use it.

Also, no polyfills are available for WebUSB now.
Tabris has native mobile and browser clients. I see info on creating the native mobile clients. How do you create a mobile browser client? I would like to use the browser for things that wont need access to native device things like the camera. I know how to create a standard desktop client using Eclipse RAP.
Tabris' native mobile clients are faster and look nicer (native widgets) on mobile devices. Using a browser on mobile devices to access a RAP server is often slow or suffers from buggy mobile browsers. That's why I would recommend to always use the native client on a mobile device instead of a browser.
In case you want to try to access the RAP server with a mobile browser, just enter the IP and entry point in the URL field of the browser. The RAP client is then fetched via http as it is embedded in the first page you receive from the RAP server.
I want to implement "mobile website provider" tool. Basically, It intake desktop website url and generate a mobile version of website without edit/add additional content to the desktop website. I am planning to design a product like (what mofuse.com does. This website create mobile websites). This tool should be hassle free to client(who are not tech savvy.)
1.Q) I want to know kind of functionality involved in this process.
2.Q) In Java Technology, I need the tool set and functionality of this actitity.
As I am new to this mobile application environment. Any information(web links) regarding this will be appreciated.
Update:
its not like skweezer.com.
I had a website and I want to "mobile"ize it. 1) What kind of java tool set I have to use to create mobile web site? 2) How to test in multiple mobile devices 3) How the domain name will be created for mobile websites.
Check out our Wapple Architect tech (http://wapple.net) - we allow you to use the same content from web to mobile, but if it's mobile, instead of outputting the html, use a web service to turn it into the right content for that particular handset.
Mobilizes the same domain, no need for m.yourdomain.com or anything like that.
Check http://wapple.net on a mobile for example!
there are certain plugins which mobilise your website .
they check user agent and if user agent is of mobile browser they load another css of mobile and if you want to redirect some another redirect it ther.
you dont have to buy separate domain make sub domain or cname like
m.yourdomain.ccom
wap.yaourdomain.com
try some javacripts code which detect browser type and redirect accordingly.
