Get Android Device Name

Question

In order to get Android device name you have to add only a single line of code:

android.os.Build.MODEL;

Found here: getting-android-device-name

You can see answers at here Get Android Phone Model Programmatically

public String getDeviceName() {
   String manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
   String model = Build.MODEL;
   if (model.startsWith(manufacturer)) {
      return capitalize(model);
   } else {
      return capitalize(manufacturer) + " " + model;
   }
}


private String capitalize(String s) {
    if (s == null || s.length() == 0) {
        return "";
    }
    char first = s.charAt(0);
    if (Character.isUpperCase(first)) {
        return s;
    } else {
        return Character.toUpperCase(first) + s.substring(1);
    }
}

I solved this by getting the Bluetooth name, but not from the BluetoothAdapter (that needs Bluetooth permission).

Here's the code:

Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), "bluetooth_name");

No extra permissions needed.

On many popular devices the market name of the device is not available. For example, on the Samsung Galaxy S6 the value of Build.MODEL could be "SM-G920F", "SM-G920I", or "SM-G920W8".

I created a small library that gets the market (consumer friendly) name of a device. It gets the correct name for over 10,000 devices and is constantly updated. If you wish to use my library click the link below:

If you do not want to use the library above, then this is the best solution for getting a consumer friendly device name:

/** Returns the consumer friendly device name */
public static String getDeviceName() {
    String manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
    String model = Build.MODEL;
    if (model.startsWith(manufacturer)) {
        return capitalize(model);
    }
    return capitalize(manufacturer) + " " + model;
}

private static String capitalize(String str) {
    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(str)) {
        return str;
    }
    char[] arr = str.toCharArray();
    boolean capitalizeNext = true;
    String phrase = "";
    for (char c : arr) {
        if (capitalizeNext && Character.isLetter(c)) {
            phrase += Character.toUpperCase(c);
            capitalizeNext = false;
            continue;
        } else if (Character.isWhitespace(c)) {
            capitalizeNext = true;
        }
        phrase += c;
    }
    return phrase;
}

Example from my Verizon HTC One M8:

// using method from above
System.out.println(getDeviceName());
// Using https://github.com/jaredrummler/AndroidDeviceNames
System.out.println(DeviceName.getDeviceName());

Result:

HTC6525LVW

HTC One (M8)

Try it. You can get Device Name through Bluetooth.

Hope it will help you

public String getPhoneName() {  
        BluetoothAdapter myDevice = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
        String deviceName = myDevice.getName();     
        return deviceName;
    }

You can use:

From android doc:

MANUFACTURER:

String MANUFACTURER

The manufacturer of the product/hardware.

MODEL:

String MODEL

The end-user-visible name for the end product.

DEVICE:

String DEVICE

The name of the industrial design.

As a example:

String deviceName = android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER + " " + android.os.Build.MODEL;
//to add to textview
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_view);
textView.setText(deviceName);

Furthermore, their is lot of attribute in Build class that you can use, like:

• os.android.Build.BOARD
• os.android.Build.BRAND
• os.android.Build.BOOTLOADER
• os.android.Build.DISPLAY
• os.android.Build.CPU_ABI
• os.android.Build.PRODUCT
• os.android.Build.HARDWARE
• os.android.Build.ID

Also their is other ways you can get device name without using Build class(through the bluetooth).

Following works for me.

String deviceName = Settings.Global.getString(.getContentResolver(), Settings.Global.DEVICE_NAME);

I don't think so its duplicate answer. The above ppl are talking about Setting Secure, for me setting secure is giving null, if i use setting global it works. Thanks anyways.
