assign default layout in controller

Here is the method to check layout in the controller. 

You can debug the controller self object and check there is any layout name like this..

self.action_has_layout?

before_filter :check_and_assign_default_layout
def check_and_assign_default_layout
    unless self.action_has_layout?
      self.action_has_layout = "my_layout"
    end
end
