question

Here is data from android.os.Build, the only thing I changed was the value of the DeviceID, though the fake DeviceID I have here is the same length and the original also appeared to be hex and had 3 characters in it. bueller was apparently the code-name for the Fire TV before it was announced. DeviceDetails(3212): DeviceID type: ANDROID_ID DeviceDetails(3212): DeviceID: 9274f2c8d3245362 DeviceDetails(3212): Brand: qcom DeviceDetails(3212): Manufacturer: Amazon DeviceDetails(3212): Model: AFTB DeviceDetails(3212): Product: bueller DeviceDetails(3212): Android: 4.2.2 In case you want the same code I used Log.d to print out code I use to capture device info to be sent to my server when users send help requests. It does require android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE. DeviceDetails += "\r\nDeviceID: " + DeviceID + "\r\nBrand: " + android.os.Build.BRAND + "\r\nManufacturer: " + android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER + "\r\nModel: " + android.os.Build.MODEL + "\r\nProduct: " + android.os.Build.PRODUCT + "\r\nAndroid: " + android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE; Hope this helps. Good luck.

thanks much!

Hi David, The specification of Fire TV could be found here : https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/devices/fire-tv/docs/device-and-platform-specifications

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to detect future Fire TV devices. I'd like to customize some menu behavior based on whether the device has a touch screen. I haven't tried this yet but my thought is to look for an input device that supports touch: int[] ids = InputDevice.getDevicesIds(); for (int id : ids) { InputDevice device = InputDevice.getDevice(id); int sources = device.getSources(); if (sources & SOURCE_TOUCHPAD) { // Probably not Fire TV..? } } Maybe Game Circle has something more definitive?

There is a way to determine if a device supports touch screen controls. Every device has a Configuration object. The code goes like this: Configuration config = getResources().getConfiguration(); if (config.touchscreen == Configuration.TOUCHSCREEN_NOTOUCH) { // This screen doesn't support touch } else { // This screen supports touch } Hope this helps...
