A small library to get the market (consumer-friendly) name, model, and manufacturer of devices.
On many popular devices, the market name of the device is not available.
For example, on the Samsung Galaxy S7 the value of [Build.MODEL] may be any of "SAMSUNG-SM-G930A", "SM-G930F", "SM-G930K", "SM-G930L", etc.
Apple devices are mostly recognized by their machine name... "iPhone 8 Plus" is "iPhone10,2", and "iPad Pro 9.7-inch (WiFi+Cellular)" is "iPad6,4", etc.
This library is useful for providing technical support for a particular device or adding some rules, e.g extra bottom-padding on iPhone X because of the on-screen Home Bar icon layered over the App and blocking the underlined content.
The android device list is based on the Google maintained list of about 27,000 supported devices found here. We will keep the library up-to-date.
-
Search for Device in Codename One extension store and add it to your project.
Or download Device.cn1Lib to the lib folder of your project.
-
Go to your project and do Refresh cn1Lib files.
View the project JavaDoc here.
To avoid blocking the EDT on Android, it's advisable to call these methods in a callSerially().
Get the name of the current device (e.g iPhone 8 Plus):
String name = Device.getName();
Get the model of the current device (e.g iPhone 8 Plus (China/Japan)):
String model = Device.getModel();
Get the manufacturer of the current device (e.g Apple Inc.):
String manufacturer = Device.getManufacturer();
Check if device isNotch (mainly for newer iPhones). E.g "iPhone X will return true while iPhone 8 will return false"
boolean isNotch = Device.isNotch();
