Is there a way to retrieve Browser's user-agent without having a WebView in activity?
I know it is possible to get it via WebView:
WebView view = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.someview); String ua = view.getSettings().getUserAgentString() ; But in my case I don't have/need a webview object and I don't want to create it just for retrieving user-agent string.

agent, which can be used to retrieve the User-Agent string. String userAgent = System. getProperty("http. agent");
Switch to the “Advanced” tab in the top-right corner, then tap “User agent” at the top of the “Customize” sub-section. Tap “User agent” at the top of the “Customize” sub-section of the “Advanced” tab. Select one of the four built-in user agents or tap “Custom” and enter your own value, then tap “OK” to save.
Definition and Usage. The userAgent property returns the user-agent header sent by the browser to the server. The userAgent property is read-only. The value returned, contains information about the browser name, version and platform.
If you don't have one you can try taking it like this
String ua=new WebView(this).getSettings().getUserAgentString(); Edit-
The doc for getUserAgentString() says
Return the WebView's user-agent string.
So i don't think you can get it unless you declare one. Some one correct me if i am wrong
