Get folder name that appears when the device is connected to a desktop machine using USB Mass Storage or USB Media Device

When Device is connected to the computer the name is displayed as folder of Device (e.g. SAMSUNG_Android) How can I get that name?

Edited: I think we can't get that name. For some devices it is displayed, e.g. for Samsung Galaxy S3, but for others it is not.

IIRC the name which appears when you connect Android as a disk is the SD card volume label, at least on the devices with real (non-emulated) SD cards. It can be changed via dosfslabel when connected to Linux. There's no reliable way to read it. I think the best idea is to use Build.MODEL as default and allow user to change it manually in your application.

I think what your referring to is how to get the Build Properties of device

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html

Build.PRODUCT is probably what you're looking for. Usually that is displayed on the computer when you connect it.

It gives full Product name

the below method will help you :

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