How to detect a mobile device manufacturer and model programmatically in Android?
I want to find device specification of a mobile phone for examples, the device manufacturer, model no ( and may be types of sensors in the device, wifi chipset etc..). I want to get the device manufacture/model number (eg. Samsung GT-I9100 i.e Galaxy S2) programmatically. The manufacture/model number is also used in Google Play when installing an app. I want to use this information to make some configuration changes in my hardware dependent app (for eg. power measurement).
You can get as below:
String deviceName = android.os.Build.MODEL;
String deviceMan = android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER;
For more other device details, Please refer this document: android.os.Build
I just wanna elaborate on how to use the built in Attribute for the future visitors. You can use this method in identifying a Kindle Device(s)
public static boolean isKindle(){
final String AMAZON = "Amazon";
final String KINDLE_FIRE = "Kindle Fire";
return (Build.MANUFACTURER.equals(AMAZON) && Build.MODEL.equals(KINDLE_FIRE) ) || Build.MODEL.startsWith("KF");
}
String deviceName = android.os.Build.MODEL;
String deviceMan = android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER;
The original solution will work fine, however it will not detect a custom ROM (non OEM) in call cases. You may want to also evaluate the android.os.Build.PRODUCT
string or other strings from the Build class.
String build = android.os.Build.PRODUCT;
