Getting enviroment information on Android

Published by Silveira on 2010-03-16

This is a simple program I wrote called Who Am I that shows informations about the device which it is running. Which can be useful for developers and maybe advanced users.

Download:

  • WhoAmI.tar.bz2 – Eclipse project. It’s configured for Android platform 4 (1.6) but should work without problems in newer Android platform versions.
  • WhoAmI.apk – Application installation Android package.

Main Activity source code:

package net.silveiraneto.whoami;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class WhoAmI extends Activity {
    private EditText mEditor;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.whoami);

        mEditor = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editor);

        Object[][] properties = {
        	{"Build.BOARD", Build.BOARD},
        	{"Build.BRAND", Build.BRAND},
        	{"Build.CPU_ABI", Build.CPU_ABI},
        	{"Build.DEVICE", Build.DEVICE},
        	{"Build.DISPLAY", Build.DISPLAY},
        	{"Build.FINGERPRINT", Build.FINGERPRINT},
        	{"Build.HOST", Build.HOST},
        	{"Build.ID", Build.ID},
        	{"Build.MANUFACTURER", Build.MANUFACTURER},
        	{"Build.MODEL", Build.MODEL},
        	{"Build.PRODUCT", Build.PRODUCT},
        	{"Build.TAGS", Build.TAGS},
        	{"Build.TIME", Build.TIME},
        	{"Build.USER", Build.USER},
        };

        for(Object[] prop: properties) {
        	mEditor.append(String.format("%s: %s\n", prop[0], prop[1]));
        }
    }
}

And its Android Manifest:

    Tem jeito de pegar o número do telefone no android? Isso é algo que poucas vezes funciona no N900 (Maemo 5).

    Aliás, vendo esses artigos sobre Android pipocando no br-linux e outros lugares, fico pensando que desperdício ver mentes tão brilhantes como por exemplo o Silveira e o Cabelo usando seus talentos em um ambiente que nada se parece com o Linux típico que usam.

    Silveira Neto,
    Tudo bom? Seria possível desenvolver uma aplicação que coletasse o tráfego 3G por cada aplicação e não total? Eu digo “alguém” porque eu não sei programar.
    Abraços,
    Sávio.

    Savio, seria bem interessante essa aplicação.
    Eu não sei como fazer para contar os dados por uma aplicação porque para contar os dados que foram trafegados usamos arquivos de contagem da estrutura de sistema de arquivos do Linux que o Android possui. Porém há alguns bons contadores de tráfego para Android mas sem essa granularidade que você quer.
