Android :: When Connect By Code With UrlConnection Get: User-Agent - Unavailable
Sep 15, 2009
I have found an issue. I have a server that uses User Agent header to identify the device that is connecting to it. But when i connect to the server using HttpURLConnection i get no User Agent header, but when i connect with the browser it sends the correct User Agent.
For testing i am using an echo server that replies with the headers it found on the request.
When i connect with browser i get: eg: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 1.5; en-fr; HTC Hero Build/CUPCAKE) AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Mobile Safari/525.20.1 Up.Link/6.3.1.20.06.3.1.20.0.
But when i connect by code with UrlConnection i get: User-Agent: UNAVAILABLE.
Does anyone know we i get different behaviors? How i can i connect in the same way the browser does?

Kindly provide me the Android code to get the User-Agent from the Android mobile device like in J2me where we can get System information about the mobile device using the J2me API.
Also , is there any list of Rdf or useragent string/ xml for the different Android devices available in the market.

Can i ask how to get http_user_agent real device?
When i use WebView, i can get the real value like this: [HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/5.0(Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-gb; LG-P500 Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
But when i use Apache connection, the result is different like this: [HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE(java 1.4).

I was wondering if anyone knows the user agent string the Chrome browser sends on Google TV. I have a site www.vpiketv.com that formats the display on the fly according to the recommedations Google documented.
The site looks at the user agent string to determine the type of device (PC, TV) and the type of display if Google TV (720p or 1080p).

I am trying to see if there is more than the normal popular web browsers out there that support user agent switching. I am looking for those that support either custom or iOS settings.
Before I get attacked for wanting to emulate a iOS product I will explain.
The company I work for uses a 3rd party vendor for eBooks for our students we work with. They use a proprietary software that only worked on Mac or PC's to download the book as well as a online website.
Yesterday the vendor launched an app for the iOS that allows the users to download the books to their devices. They also altered the online version of the site to work perfectly with iOS devices.
They refuse to take into consideration Android devices and the website will not display the eBooks properly on any android device.
However, when playing around with Dolphin and xScope the User Agent settings have iPhone/iPad in them. After enabling them, the site thinks its a iOS device and the content works beautifully with it.
What I am trying to do is catalog the other browsers out there that support user agent switching to try to catalog the ones we can suggest to students to use.

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.

I bought a Galaxy S4 wit Android 4.2.2 preinstalled. In my Company we are allowed to sync with Active Sync/Exchange our Mails, Contacs and Calendar. But we are only allowed to use it with Windows Mobile and iOS!
The Sync with my Galaxy works perfect but when I check the sync protocoll in my Outlook Web Access Account they will see that I am syncing a Android device.
Is it possible to hide or change the User Agent for Exchange?

I have a sgs2 with a modded rom. But i already use the cyanogen.
Both have the SIP active already but the cyanogen have the option to change user-agent.
There's any way to put this option in the other modded ROM too? Or there's any app with this option active?

I'm using URLConnection to connect to the main server. The server implements digest authentication. If I connect to the server with java library, the connection is successful. But if I use the same code for android, the connection is rejected for the reason - username and password do not match.
Here is the code for my Java project:
code:...........
The above code works fine and I'm able to connect to my host server which is implementing digest authentication. I'm unable to use the same code for Android to connect.
Here is my android code:
code:.........
If the same code works for Java, it should also work for Android.
The code loops in the Authenticator as it finds username and password not matching in the Android code for some reason which in fact are correct. The code runs perfect for Java project.

What i really need is not only the User-Agent header, i also need some special headers (x-up-subno actually). This header is added by the APN of the operator, but for some reason when i connect by code that headers are not added to the request.

Made the switch from EVO to X. When you pinched in to zoom on the EVO browser, the web page would auto fit so that I wouldn't have to scroll left or right to read an article. I noticed this is missing on the X browser. I have Fit Web Pages checked on the settings but it won't fit to the page. Anyone know of a solution yet? Is there a way to change the User Agent like you can on the EVO?

My company only allows mobile access to corporate e-mail through WIndows phone. As an Android advocate, i prefer my own mobile device.
My only two choices are to access through my Android Chrome browser or find a way to make my Jelly-bean Android mail app look like it is a Windows phone. ...or a 3rd part mail app that looks like a Windows/windows phone mail client
I prefer the mail client route as it keeps in sync with updates.

I am trying to change my user agent system wide, not just in the browser. I do remember seeing this once when using a hidden dialer menu, but I can't recall what it was. I am running CM 10.2 on a Nexus S

ok so i go on some sites that show what phone i'm using, some browsers show the phone, but opera mini 7 always show 'posted from opera mini 7'. could i change that at all?
my phone is a chinese one but i'm guessing that makes no difference, but it'd be nice if i could type my own message in so it read something like 'posted from [my own text here]'
i could think of a few funny things to put, or simply just put iOcean X7 (as that's my phone)
i'm guessing if i go into my files and folders, i'd find something somewhere, but going in there scares me.

A while ago I found a tip somewhere on how to get to some additional hidden android browser settings including how to change the user agent string so that the browser would identify itself as a desktop browser or iPhone browser while surfing. This setting is reset between sessions, I didn't use it frequently and eventually forgot how to go about making the change. Recently I had a need to access these hidden browser settings again and it took quite a long and frustrating search effort to finally locate this information which does not seem to be widely publicized. So, in an effort to save anyone else this trouble, I figured I would post the information on how to do this on a couple Android boards that I frequent and also include a few words that might be picked up as search terms for anyone else trying to find this info. The procedure is very simple. I currently have an HTC Sprint Hero running Android 1.5, so I'm not sure what other devices or builds this will work on..

For my site I need to be able to tell the difference between when an Android tablet visits and when an Android phone visits. It needs to be detected before the page is sent to the user so using JavaScript to check the screen res isn't an option.At the moment I use this to detect an android device: stripos($ua,'android')Is there anything unique thar a tablet has in it's user agent?

So I used my phone as a storage-device connecting it to my computer via USB earlier today, and just now I notice that I can't browse my photos or music. It says:
"Your content is unavailable because your phone is being used as USB storage. Disconnect USB to access your content."
Before unplugging the phone earlier, I rightclicked the little icon at the bottom-right of my computer screen and chose "disconnect storage device", after which I received notification that it was then safe to remove the device. Is there something more I should be doing, a similar setting in the phone? Or did it just bug and I need a reboot?

The AndroidManifest.xml contains the version name of the application, something like: android:versionName="1.0"
Now the question - is it somehow possible to access this version name in the source code, so that I can display it for example in an About Dialogue?

For instance, let's take android.permission.GET_PACKAGE_SIZE. Searching for this string in Android 1.6 *.xml source files only points to a single application that uses it, frameworksas estsAndroidTests.
So the next step is to search through the .java files in a hope that I'll eventually find the code that might look like it queries for a package size. Is this the supposed way of discovering permission use?
