How to detect HTC Sense?

Question

Can I somehow detect if my app is running on HTC Sense?

More generally, the problem is, that I have a Button with custom drawable. It's something very similar to the account switcher in the top right of Gmail app. When pressed or focused, the button has orange highlight. But that doesn't look nice on HTC Sense - because the standard highlight color there is green.

Answer 1

Lets see android.os.Build strings I am not sure what the HTC folks use a combination to indicate a HTC sense device..

Answer 2

Here's a link suggesting a way to detect HTC Sense on the device, about 1/3 the way down the discussion. I've tested on Desire and Desire Z.

Code is below (from a user: David):

private static final String SENSE_UI_LAUNCHER_NAME = 
          "com.htc.launcher.Launcher"; 
    private static Boolean senseUI; 

    public static final boolean isSenseUI(Context context) {
        if (senseUI == null) {
            senseUI = false;
            PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();

            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
            List<ResolveInfo> list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(
                    intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
            for (ResolveInfo info : list) {
                if (info.activityInfo != null
                        && SENSE_UI_LAUNCHER_NAME
                                .equals(info.activityInfo.name)) {
                    senseUI = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        return senseUI;
    }
